Although the USA Patriot Act was intended to do just the same, Americans question if the act has âdecimated civil liberties.â In this fight to end terrorism, citizens wonder whether the government will continue to secure the nation or continue eliminating American freedoms.
Monkey facts, photos and videos..The most obvious difference between monkeys and apes is that apes do not have tails. The great apes, are much larger than monkeys and much more highly evolved
Their tails help them balance themselves when they do this. Flying squirrels and kangaroo rats use their tails as rudders. They can change direction in mid-air. Dogs use tails for communication. Some animals have prehensile tails, meaning they can grab things with their tail. Many monkeys can do this. (Check out some monkeys with prehensile tails at: http://daphne.palomar.edu/primate/prim_4.htm) There is also a prehensile tailed skink (a kind of lizard). Cows and horses swat away flies with their tails. Can you think of any other uses? Some of us are tail impaired.
