Most species of mammal have five digits on their hands/paws/feet. However, there are only a handful of mammals that hands or paws with elongated "fingers"; all members of the Primate family have human-like hands, complete with long, flexible fingers and an opposable thumb.
The family Phalangeridae (nocturnal marsupials such as possums) also have five fingers and both the first and second digits of the forefeet are opposable, while the first toe on the hind feet are opposable for gripping branches. Koalas are similar; they also have five fingers with the first two opposable for exactly the same reason as the Phalangeridae family.
Raccoons, while don't have any thumbs or thumb-like digits, have very delicate and sensitive human-like paws. They can detect the difference between a rock and a clam from simply feeling the bottom of a stream - and amazingly they lose no sensation even when "fishing" for hours at a time.
