They graze on underwater plants like sea grasses and algae for up to eight hours a day, grabbing the plants and pulling them into their mouth with their prehensile upper lip.

它们以海草和海藻类水下植物为食，每天进食长达八小时，它们会抓住这些植物，并用可以缠绕的上唇将其拉进嘴里。

Prehensile tails take a lot of extra energy to operate, so it's possible that they just aren't useful enough to those monkeys to be worth having.

The feet and tail of the chameleon are also special. Both are prehensile; that is, they are both perfectly adapted to their sylvan environment.

With long limbs and a prehensile tail that can grip like a hand, they're built for climbing.

修长的四肢加上灵活如手的卷尾，他们就是为攀爬而生的。

But considering prehensile tails evolved twice in monkeys in the Americas, the vine theory of appendage evolution is the easier explanation to latch onto.

In the first half of the show, Angela says that the key evolutionary advantage of human beings is, quote, not standing on two legs, not the prehensile thumb, just the ability to imagine possible futures.

在节目的前半部分， 安吉拉说人类的关键进化优势是， 引用她的话说，不是直立行走， 不是灵巧的大拇指，而是想象可能的未来的能力。

If the harvest mouse had been more strictly arboreal, it would perhaps have had its tail rendered structurally prehensile, as is the case with some members of the same order.

如果收获鼠更严格是树栖的， 它的尾巴可能在结构上变得可以抓握， 就像同一目的一些成员一样。

有些种类，例如巨龙，甚至有可以抓握的尾巴，末端有一个爪状的钩子， 可以帮助它们抓住树枝。

Does that mean kangaroos and their powerful tails, or monkeys with prehensile tails are, functionally speaking, 5-limbed animals?

这是否意味着袋鼠及其强有力的尾巴，或拥有抓握尾巴的猴子，从功能上讲， 实际上是五肢动物呢？

They looked kind of like chameleons, with grasping hands and feet, and long prehensile tails.

它们看起来有点像变色龙，有着抓握的手和脚，以及长长的卷尾。

It is, however, possible that the long tail of this monkey may be of more service to it as a balancing organ in making its prodigious leaps, than as a prehensile organ.

然而，这只猴子的长尾巴可能在其惊人的跳跃中作为平衡器官比作为抓握器官更有用。

Not standing on two legs, not the prehensile thumb, just the ability to imagine possible futures.

不是站立的双腿，不是灵巧的大拇指，只是想象可能的未来的能力。

Angela likely meant an opposable thumb, not a prehensile thumb.

安吉拉很可能指的是对手指，而不是卷曲手指。

On the other hand, the transportal of the lower eye of a flat-fish to the upper side of the head, and the formation of a prehensile tail, may be attributed almost wholly to continued use, together with inheritance.

另一方面，比目鱼的下眼向头部的上侧移动， 以及可卷曲的尾巴的形成，几乎可以完全归因于持续使用和遗传。
