Monkeys with short tails primarily include the New World monkeys, such as tamarins and marmosets, which often have tails that are either very short or not prehensile. Additionally, some species of macaques and the Japanese macaque, also have relatively short tails compared to other primates. In contrast, Old World monkeys typically have longer tails. The lack of tail length can be an adaptation to their environments and lifestyles.
