Humans (with opposable thumbs) can grasp, carry and grip things that other animals including primates (who lack opposable thumbs) cannot.
Opposable thumbs Body hair 2 arms and 2 legs
Most animals do not have opposable thumbs. Two animals that do not have opposable thumbs are cats and dogs.
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.
Two of the distinct features of all primates were grasping fingers and toes with nails. Another is forward facing eyes for binocular vision.
Frogs do not have opposable thumbs. Among the few animals who do are: ferrets, apes/monkeys, raccoons, lemurs.
The chimpanzee does have thumbs. But they are not opposable.
Humans and primates.
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.
