Left or Right Paw?
Did you know animals can have a dominant paw or hand, much like humans? Studies show that many primates, such as chimpanzees, tend to favor their right hand, while species like orangutans show a preference for the left. The reason behind this is thought to relate to their environment—tree dwellers often use their left paw for climbing, while ground animals favor the right for stability.
