Iguanadonts technically do not have thumbs. their hand's first finger, referred to as the thumb, has evolved into a sharp spike, the second, third and fourth fingers are mittened together into a walking-pad, and the fifth finger is smaller and semi-opposible.

A thumb is a first finger that is opposable to the other fingers on the hand. Iguanodon had a thumb on each of the feet on its forelimbs. Thus, like humans, Iguanodon had two "hands" with one thumb one each for a total of two thumbs.
