I think most if not all tetrapods should have the 1-2-3-4-5 hierarchy for their arms and legs (although the later branches often fuse together).

I just checked, and mice have the 1-2 pattern for front and hind limbs. It's just the arms that are weird, but this mouse's arms have always been weird.

Edit: I just saw the legs again, those are definitely screwed up too.

My kid reassembled an owl pellet and framed it in science class. Looks pretty cool
