The Sixth Toe
Did you know Pandas have thumbs, much like those of humans? The front paws of a Giant Panda are distinctly different from other bears due to a special bone found in their wrists called the sesamoid bone. This bone crates their distinctive “sixth toe”, an opposable thumb, that is used for grasping bamboo. (Pandas International)
See these 6-toed bears live on the panda cams!
