An opposable digit is a type of digit, typically found in primates, that can be moved to touch or grasp other fingers or digits. This feature allows for a greater range of motion and the ability to grasp objects effectively, which is essential for tasks like holding tools or climbing. In humans, the thumb is the primary opposable digit, enabling fine motor skills and enhanced manipulation of objects.
The part of your hand that rhymes with "crumb" is the thumb. The thumb is a unique digit that is opposable to the other fingers, allowing for precision grip and manipulation. It is essential for activities such as grasping objects, writing, and playing musical instruments.

I would say that your little toe is your shortest digit.
No, mice do not have opposable thumbs. They have paws with a pollex, which is the innermost digit of the forelimb.

No, They Don't have an opposable thumb But a chimpanzee does!
The Opposable Mind was created in 2007.
Humans (with opposable thumbs) can grasp, carry and grip things that other animals including primates (who lack opposable thumbs) cannot.
Yes, gibbons have opposable thumbs, which allow them to grasp and manipulate objects. The opposable thumbs of gibbons are adapted for swinging through trees in their arboreal habitats.
Opposable thumbs are use to holding on and pick up small objects. The macaques use their opposable thumbs to hold the tool to use it. Without opposable thumbs it could be hard or nearly impossible to use a tool to get food.
Siamangs have an opposable thumb on their hands, which allows them to grasp objects firmly, similar to humans. They also have an opposable big toe on their feet, which enhances their ability to grip branches and move through the trees with agility.
Possums (on the rear feet) Giant Pandas (technically, they have a long finger on each hand/foot that is caused by a sesamoid bone that works as an opposable thumb) Troodon (a birdlike dinasour, with partially opposable thumbs) Phyllomedusa (a species of frogs from South America) Old World monkeys; most New World monkeys do *not* have opposable thumbs (exception is Cebidae family of New World monkeys) Lemurs Rarely, cats with a sixth toe (polydactyly) will have the additional digit partially opposable relative to the others.
Squirrels do not have opposable thumbs like humans do. Instead, they have four toes on each front paw, which include a thumb-like digit that allows them to grasp and manipulate objects. This adaptation helps them climb, forage, and handle food effectively, but it is not as versatile as true opposable thumbs. Overall, their limb structure is well-suited for their arboreal lifestyle.
