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.
Polar bear is protected by by the thick fur and has black skin to absorb the heat
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.
No, raccoons do not have opposable thumbs.
No, mice do not have opposable thumbs. They have paws with a pollex, which is the innermost digit of the forelimb.
Basically, opposable thumbs are important to help us, primates, and panda bears, help grip things better, pick things up, and eat with one hand.We need opposable thumbs to do..well...to do almost everything!
"Yes. Yes they do." - Steve Erwin
Humans (with opposable thumbs) can grasp, carry and grip things that other animals including primates (who lack opposable thumbs) cannot.
all primates
Most animals do not have opposable thumbs. Two animals that do not have opposable thumbs are cats and dogs.

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.
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.
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.
No besides us apes are the only ones who have opposable thumbs but ours are better
No, raccoons do not have opposable thumbs.
It allows us to use tools and grab things.
No, mice do not have opposable thumbs. They have paws with a pollex, which is the innermost digit of the forelimb.
