The panda's thumb is an extension of its wrist bone, specifically an elongated radial sesamoid bone that functions similarly to an opposable thumb in humans. In humans, it is homologous to the thumb, which allows for grasping and manipulation of objects. While the structures differ in form and function, both serve the purpose of enhancing grip and dexterity. This adaptation showcases evolutionary convergence, where different species develop similar traits to solve comparable challenges.
