Monkey
There are 81 species in the cercopithecidae family. Theyre primates
Some species of Australian possums have a moderately prehensile tail.
Prehensile means they have control over it, a spider monkey has a prehensile tail and can use it to cling to branches and things. Prehensile appendages are usually used like we would use our fingers.

Prehensile tails are made of vertebrates. However, the specific structure changes from species to species. Additionally a part of many mammalian prehensile tails the "friction pad," a bare patch to aid gripping.
Rhesus monkey belongs to the following classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Cercopithecidae Genus: Macaca Species: Macaca mulatta
It depends on the species. Some Australian possums, such as the various species of gliders, have semi-prehensile tails, and their tails are used to help them balance. Others, such as the Ringtail and Common Brushtail possum, are considered to have more prehensile tails, using their tail to grasp cables and branches.
The biological classification of a monkey is as follows: Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Varied, depending on the specific type of monkey (e.g., Cercopithecidae, Hominidae)
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Cercopithecidae Genus: Macaca Species: Macaca mulatta (for Rhesus monkeys as an example)
A mandrill is classified as a primate and specifically as a member of the species Mandrillus sphinx, which is part of the genus Mandrillus in the family Cercopithecidae. They are closely related to baboons and are known for their colorful faces and prominent teeth.
Ocelots do not have prehensile tails. Their tails are long and help with balance and coordination while climbing and navigating their environment. Unlike some other species, such as spider monkeys, ocelots use their tails primarily for stability rather than for grasping or holding objects.
A limb is defined as a jointed or prehensile appendage. Arms and legs are limbs, but so are an octopus' tentacles, and the tails of certain species of monkey.
