Question

New World monkeys are
A) all arboreal and diurnal.
B) all arboreal and some have prehensile tails.
C) almost exclusively terrestrial.
D) generally all the same small body size.

New World monkeys are all arboreal, meaning they live in trees, but not all of them have prehensile tails. However, some do have prehensile tails, which are able to grasp and hold onto branches like another hand, making them more adapted to life in the trees.
