Question

prehensile The squid has eight short “arms” but also two long prehensile tentacles that it uses for catching its prey. prehensile*

Accepted Answer

Adapted for grasping, especially by wrapping around. Howler monkeys are among the American monkeys with prehensile tails. Famous for their booming howls, howlers can wrap their tails around a nearby branch while using their prehensile feet and hands for picking lice from their fur or lobbing a coconut at an unwelcome tourist. Our own hands are prehensile, of course. Our feet are not; on the other hand, they're much better for running than the prehensile feet of a monkey or ape.
