He has prehensile (grasping) hands, each with three fingers and a thumb. Like some New World monkeys, opossums have prehensile tails. It has bulbous eyes which can move independently of each other and a prehensile tail. However, only vertebrates are known to have developed prehensile tails. Tails are present, varying from vestiges to prehensile. They live in forests and grasslands, are semiarboreal, and possess partially prehensile tails. They do this by using their prehensile tails to grasp their object of choice. Infants have slightly prehensile tails and are weaned at about 6 months. Most have tails, but they are not prehensile. They are excellent climbers, due in part to their prehensile tails. One point of interest is the distribution of animals with prehensile tails. This climbing behavior is aided by a partially prehensile tail. The tail is prehensile and naked on its lower underside.
