German: “Klammeraffe” (literally: “bracket monkey”)

• layer8 1y ago
  Klammeraffe is a genus of monkey, called spider monkeys [0] in English. “Klammer” here means “clinging”, because these monkeys use their long tail similar to their arms to hold on to branches. “Klammeraffe” has no relation to brackets.
