Like many monkeys' tails (10)

I believe the answer is:

prehensile

(Other definitions for prehensile that I've seen before include "Capable of grasping" , "making a clutch possible" , "Able to grasp - her in sleep (anag)" , "Adapted for gripping" , "Able to grasp an object -- Helen is rep (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
