Jungle Palm
Photograph by Mattias Klum
It's hauntingly human-like, yet a kinkajou's paw lacks an opposable thumb. This hardly inhibits performance. "They can grab a fig just like you can grab an apple," says Roland Kays. "They often use just one hand when they eat." While claws help them climb trees, the pads give good traction for moving horizontally along branches. And, Kays notes, "The folding patterns in their hands give them life lines, just like humans."
