Answer 2

A prehensile tail is the tail of an animal that has adapted to grasp or hold objects. Fully prehensile tails can be used to hold and manipulate objects, and in particular to aid arboreal creatures in finding and eating food in the trees.

Fully prehensile tails can be used like a hand to hold onto objects and to help arboreal creatures find and eat food while in the trees, like the African tree pangolin pictured. Partially prehensile tails are often used to anchor an animal's body while it dangles from a branch or as an aid for climbing.
