Forest Animal Rescue by Peace River Refuge & Ranch

Yowza, look at those claws! Juanita is being playful in her pool - just imagine what she could do when she’s in a bad mood!

This month is responsible pet owners month, so we’d like to remind everyone why animals like tigers and other exotic animals should never be pets.

Today we’re taking a closer look at some of our primates tails. Prehensile tails are tails that are adapted to hold or grasp objects. This is very useful to monkeys that can use them for balance and to swing from the trees. There are animals that have full prehensile tails that also have a ‘tactile pad’ to help them grip onto things - Our spider monkeys have these and can hold objects and even swing from their tails, just like an extra arm! Some animals however, don’t have complete prehensile tails and cannot use them to swing or hold on tight to objects - Our capuchin monkeys have partial prehensile tails that they use to help themselves climb and hold on for balance.

Other animals that have prehensile tails include: other new world monkeys, tree porcupines, rats, possums, opposums, kinkajous, binturong, anteaters, tree pangolins, some reptiles and amphibians and seahorses!
