Koalas have a thumb on each foot.
How amazing are koala hands and feet?
Altogether that means they have six thumbs!
Did you know that they also have two toes fused together on each foot? It acts like just one toe, but there are two claws and that makes this great for grooming and removing ticks. The thumb on their foot has no claw – every other finger, thumb or toe has a very long, sharp claw.
They can use their feet to hold onto branches nearly as well as their hands.
