New World Monkeys are found only in South and
Central America. Their nose is broad and flat, with the mose facing outs. Many of the New World Monkeys have prehensile tails. A prehensile tail can wrap around a branch and can hold and help the weight of the animal as it hangs. A prehensile tail is used as another limb e.g like another foot or arm.
