beakless
Without a snout
Beakless means lacking a beak—the hard, projecting mouth structure of birds and some other animals.
The word typically describes birds born without beaks or those that have lost them through injury: The sanctuary cares for beakless eagles.
It occasionally appears in figurative or humorous contexts for anything missing a pointed protrusion.
