Possible animals to be included
Should chamaeleons be included, as they are zygodactyl? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.78.17.52 (talk) 09:24, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

The Thumb isn't a finger as
Each digit has Phalanges a finger has 3 but the thumb only has 2 which mean it isn't a Finger it's a digit on the hand but not a finger Dogsteeves (talk) 00:16, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Full quote from that Hopkins source refers to 14 bones in "the fingers", which means they consider all 5 digits are fingers, or the arithmetic doesn't work: 14 = 3 x 4 + 2 in the thumb.
 * "Phalanges. The 14 bones that are found in the fingers of each hand and also in the toes of each foot. Each finger has 3 phalanges (the distal, middle, and proximal); the thumb only has 2."
 * General dictionaries agree that the definition of fingers includes thumbs, at https://onelook.com/?w=finger&ls=a Numbersinstitute (talk) 02:23, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
