Detailed explanation-1: -These monkeys use their strong arms and legs to help them live happily high in the treetops. They also have another cool adaptation, a prehensile tail, or a tail that can grab and hold things. Spider monkeys, howler monkeys, and owl monkeys are all common arboreal monkeys.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primate locomotion is the study of movements and postures in arboreal and terrestrial environments. Primates are masters of life in the trees, primarily due to their grasping hands and feet.

Detailed explanation-3: -monkeys, gibbons and orang-utans, move by hanging underneath branches and using their arms to swing between each support. This is called brachiation. Brachiation is mostly an adaptation seen in apes and humans; our skeletons are adapted with the ability to reach for supports in many different directions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monkeys use all four limbs-two arms and two legs-to walk and run. Their hands and feet are good for grasping tree branches. Monkeys have a coat of hair on most of their bodies. Many types have bare areas of skin on the face and buttocks.

Detailed explanation-5: -Brachiation (from “brachium", Latin for “arm"), or arm swinging, is a form of arboreal locomotion in which primates swing from tree limb to tree limb using only their arms. During brachiation, the body is alternately supported under each forelimb.
