Yes, almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.
Humans have more flexibility for manipulating small objects and they can move their thumbs across their hands much better and farther than any other primate giving humans the most dexterity of all primates.
Yes, they do, and so do orangutans and gorillas.
Second answer
Yes, otherwise they wouldn't be able to climb trees or grasp the stone tools they use to crack open nuts.
Yes, they do. That's why some people think we humans evolved from them (I don't think it's a correct theory, but hey, it's good to put out the options:)
Primates and humans are the only creatures that have opposable thumbs, so I guess we're both special!
They can open jars and raid houses, like they commonly do all across Asia, because they can turn doorknobs and flip latches. Rascal monkeys:D
No, although most do. Some examples of primates without true opposable thumbs are members of the Cebidae family, such as marmosets, tamarins and capuchins.
To help them climb trees and eat fruits and leaves
no, old world monkeys do not have opposable thumbs. unlike new world monkeys that do have opposable thumbs. hope this helped!
you bet your sweet gorilla they do.
no organism has 4 thumbs
monkeys have oppasable thumbls
Humans and primates.
Opposable thumbs, Can walk on two feet, the list goes on and on.
Frogs do not have opposable thumbs. Among the few animals who do are: ferrets, apes/monkeys, raccoons, lemurs.
Species that have opposable thumbs are humans, apes, such as chimpanzees and gibbons, most Old World monkeys such as the vervet monkeys and the mandrill, some New World monkeys such the common woolly monkeys and the northern night monkey,and lower primates such as the slender lorises and spectacle tarsiers. The opposum, koala, and lemur have opposable thumbs, and the Great Panda has a semi opposable thumb. In the non mamml area, one species of frog has an opposable thumb, and one of the bird-like dinosaurs had an opposable thumb.
Well the most interesting thing, I think, about monkeys is they have opposable thumbs.
Most animals do not have opposable thumbs. Two animals that do not have opposable thumbs are cats and dogs.
Possums (on the rear feet) Giant Pandas (technically, they have a long finger on each hand/foot that is caused by a sesamoid bone that works as an opposable thumb) Troodon (a birdlike dinasour, with partially opposable thumbs) Phyllomedusa (a species of frogs from South America) Old World monkeys; most New World monkeys do *not* have opposable thumbs (exception is Cebidae family of New World monkeys) Lemurs Rarely, cats with a sixth toe (polydactyly) will have the additional digit partially opposable relative to the others.
Humans (with opposable thumbs) can grasp, carry and grip things that other animals including primates (who lack opposable thumbs) cannot.
The chimpanzee does have thumbs. But they are not opposable.
No, a lemur is not a monkey. Though they have opposable thumbs and tails, they are prosimians, not monkeys.
Opposable thumbs are use to holding on and pick up small objects. The macaques use their opposable thumbs to hold the tool to use it. Without opposable thumbs it could be hard or nearly impossible to use a tool to get food.
