Yes, almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.
Humans have more flexibility for manipulating small objects and they can move their thumbs across their hands much better and farther than any other primate giving humans the most dexterity of all primates.
Yes, they do. That's why some people think we humans evolved from them (I don't think it's a correct theory, but hey, it's good to put out the options:)
Primates and humans are the only creatures that have opposable thumbs, so I guess we're both special!
They can open jars and raid houses, like they commonly do all across Asia, because they can turn doorknobs and flip latches. Rascal monkeys:D
monkeys have oppasable thumbls
Humans and primates.
Opposable thumbs, Can walk on two feet, the list goes on and on.
Animals with opposable thumbs and binocular vision are called primates. This group includes humans, apes, and monkeys. Their opposable thumbs and binocular vision are important adaptations for grasping and manipulating objects in their environment.
Frogs do not have opposable thumbs. Among the few animals who do are: ferrets, apes/monkeys, raccoons, lemurs.
Some animals without opposable thumbs include fish, birds, insects, and most reptiles. These animals have adapted other physical features or behaviors to compensate for the lack of opposable thumbs in their daily activities.
Well the most interesting thing, I think, about monkeys is they have opposable thumbs.
Most animals do not have opposable thumbs. Two animals that do not have opposable thumbs are cats and dogs.
Monkeys have thumbs to help them grasp and manipulate objects in their environment. The opposable thumb allows them to perform delicate tasks such as picking fruits, grooming, and building nests. This adaptation enhances their dexterity and survival skills in the wild.
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.
Humans (with opposable thumbs) can grasp, carry and grip things that other animals including primates (who lack opposable thumbs) cannot.
No, a lemur is not a monkey. Though they have opposable thumbs and tails, they are prosimians, not monkeys.
