Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

New World semibrachiation is a form of quadrupedalism in which an animal uses its prehensile tail to suspend itself while moving through trees. This form of locomotion is found in primates such as spider monkeys and howler monkeys in the New World (Central and South America). Branch running and walking, ground running and walking, and Old World semibrachiation do not involve the use of a prehensile tail.
