CHARACTERISTICS OF MONKEYS
Answers
Explanation:
Most primates share six basic features: forward-facing eyes, eye sockets, grasping hands, nails, fingerprints, and large brains. Monkeys are most easily distinguished from apes by their tails. Apes have no tails. Apes and spider monkeys swing arm-to-arm in trees, but most monkeys don't.
