| Their fore and hind feet have five toes, all with sharp claws except for the clawless, thumblike, opposable innermost toe on the hind feet. |
| All the digits are armed with claws, and the pollex and hallux are not opposable. |
| The eyes are usually very small, the feet are plantigrade and have five digits, and neither the hallux or pollex is opposable. |
| The first 2 digits of their forefeet are opposable to the other three in the more arboreal species. |
| Nocturnal and arboreal, they clamber up trees and hang from limbs thanks to long prehensile tails and opposable inside toes on their hind feet. |
| A panda with a fully opposable thumb that is lacking in its nearest relatives is hard to explain via evolution. |
