The giant panda has five fingers. However, the sesamoid, a wrist bone, is capable of independent movement that brings it into opposition with the thumb. This is called pseudothumb. This unique adaptation allows the panda to grasp and manipulate bamboo more easily when feeding.

5 fingers and a bony spur protruding from their wrist that they use as a thumb.
