Finding Out the Mistery of Panda Claws, Fingers, Toes, Thumb

Many people are wondering how many fingers do panda have? Do giant pandas have thumbs? What do they look like, their claws? Well, the front paws of giant pandas are different from those of bears. Pandas have totally six toes if the special sixth “toe” is counted. But as a matter of fact, that radical small bone is not technically a toe; it’s more of a fake thumb grown from their wrists. The sixth toe is mainly used to pick, grasp and feed food especially the bamboo.
