Question

What’s a Fingerprint?
Did you know that even before you were born you had tiny fingerprints or lines on the
tips of your fingers? Nobody else in the world has exactly the same fingerprints on their
fingers. In some cases, fingerprints have been used to find lost children or to catch a
criminal who left a mark from their fingers at the time of a crime. You can’t always see
your fingerprints but police and other experts have special equipment that helps
fingerprints show up even when they were invisible before.
When you were a baby, your fingers were quite small, so the hospital you were born at
took your footprint instead. Even twins who look exactly alike have different fingerprints.
