The Monkey that Uses its Tail

Thinking monkey!

When it comes to the monkey, you probably picture all monkeys being able to use their tails to help them to swing through trees. While this is true in some cases, it is not true for all monkeys. Arboreal monkeys are the group of monkeys that have special tails that they can use to grab branches of trees or to pick something up. These monkeys are so adept at using their tails that they are even able to pick up something small such as a peanut. In most cases, the tail is used to hold the monkey while it is collecting food.
