What are some animals without opposable thumbs?
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.
Do polar bears have opposable thumbs?
Bears do have opposable thumbs. Some bears have a special bone found in their wrists. Its their sixth toe and it is an opposable thumb. It is used for grasping bamboo. They use this bone in the same way humans use their thumbs, mainly for grasping food. Most species do not have opposable thumbs.
What animals have opposable thumbs?
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.
What type of thing is likely to have an opposable thumb other than a mammal?
actual the only species that have movable thumbs are Primates, most mammals don't such as dolphins, and such. in case you don't know a primate consists of monkeys, and apes(yes we are apes).
Is your thumb your shortest digit?
I would say that your little toe is your shortest digit.
What is the most effective thumb pressure point for relieving headaches?
The most effective thumb pressure point for relieving headaches is located in the webbing between the thumb and index finger. Applying firm pressure to this point for a few minutes can help alleviate headache pain.
How were hand and feet designed?
They evolved through a complicated process that ended with our species finding long dexterous fingers and an opposable thumb to be the most advantageous. We lost some dexterity in our toes and they became shorter than those found in apes because at was no longer necessary when we evolved to walk exclusively on our two feet.
Why is your thumb considered an adaptation?
The opposeable thumb is considered one of the most useful adaptations in all of biology. When combined with the cerebral cortex, it allowed "early man" to create tools. Ex: the famous scene from 2001 with the pre-human using a bone to smash rocks.The specialized, precision gripping hand (equipped with opposable thumb) of Homo habilis preceded walking, with the specialized adaptation of the spine, pelvis and lower extremities proceding a more advanced hand.The thumb, unlike other fingers, is opposable, in that it is the only digit on the human hand which is able to oppose or turn back against the other four fingers, and thus enables the hand to refine its grip to hold objects which it would be unable to do otherwise. This is referred to as "ulnar opposition" and adds unparalleled grip, grasp, and torque capability to the human hand. This feature developed after the time of Lucy, a direct human ancestor, who lived about 3.2 million years ago.The opposable thumb has helped the human species develop more accurate fine motor skills. It is also thought to have directly led to the development of tools, not just in humans or their evolutionary ancestors, but other primates as well.It's an opposable thumb, allowing you to grasp things.

Do primates have thumbs?
Yes, most primates have opposable thumbs, which means they can touch the tip of each finger with their thumb. This ability helps them grasp and manipulate objects with precision.
What is the most effective way to protect species?
The most effective and the only way for protecting species (including human-specie) is to become wise and transition to human-consciousness. Present humankind is living in animal-consciousness, and it is trying to emulate the model of animals for itself. ANSWER The most effective way to preserve species is to drastically reduce the number of the species killing all the others - humans.
