Editing Prehensile tail (section)

===Mammals===
*[[New World monkey]]s. The [[capuchin monkey]]. The capuchin is more than intelligent enough to make full use of its prehensile tail, but since the tail lacks an area of bare skin for a good grip it is only used in climbing and dangling. Other reasons for partial prehensility might include the lack of strength or flexibility in the tail, or simply having no need to manipulate objects with it.
*[[New World porcupine|Tree porcupines]]. The 15 species of tree porcupine (genus ''[[Coendou]]''). They are found in South America, with one species extending to Mexico. All have prehensile tails.
*[[Rat]]s have been known to be able to wrap the tail around an object after running around it, therefore giving the creature a small bit of balance. They have also been seen to be able to briefly hang off an object, though not for long.
*[[Phalangeriformes|Possums]]. This large, diverse group of 63 species forms the marsupial suborder [[Phalangeriformes]], found in Australia, [[New Guinea]], and some nearby islands. All members of the suborder have prehensile tails; however, the tails of some members such as the [[Acrobatidae]] have only limited prehensile capacity. Notably, all three marsupial glider groups belong to this suborder.
*[[Potoroidae]]. A marsupial group found in Australia that includes the [[bettongs]] and the [[potoroo]]s. They have weakly prehensile tails.
*[[Monito del monte]]. A small South American marsupial with a prehensile tail.
