After Cope. of New Guinea,7 and in the American tree porcupines,8 they are dorsal. Prehensile-tailed animals are especially abundant in heavily forested regions of South America. There the opossum, arboreal anteaters, numerous rodents, the kinkajou, the tree porcupine, and many, though not all, monkeys, have a prehensile Outside tropical America, monkeys lack the prehensile tail, but other groups of mammals have it, for example, the climbing marsupials of Australia, some scaly ant- eaters, certain mice, and the binturong (Arotitis), of the Sunda Is- lands. Climbing mammals, primates excepted, tend to have relatively short posterior legs; thus the ground-dwelling hares among rodents, and the Indian cheetahs and the serval among cats, have long limbs in com- parison with related climbing forms. Long hind legs are characteristic.
