While observing primates at the zoo, you notice that the particular monkey you are watching uses its hands, feet, and tail to grasp branches while moving throughout the trees in its enclosure. What kind of monkey is this most likely?

Answer 1

New World monkey, because many of these species have a tail with grasping abilities similar to those observed in nonhuman primate hands and feet.
