Old World monkeys; most have tails, but some, like that particular primate, do not.
So, most, but not all, monkeys have tails. As far as I can find, there are no apes with tails.

I was just being difficult - and you are correct, there are no tailed apes.
The answer to your earlier crocodile versus alligator identifier is that the alligator has a broader U-shaped snout compared to the crocodile’s longer V-shaped one. Also, if you can see a lower tooth when the mouth is closed then it’s definitely a crocodile.

Oh, were you? My son’s Aspy, so I just answer everything.

The Barbary macaque has a very short tail under an inch long. It still counts as a tail.
The difference between Old World and New World monkeys is mostly in the nose. New World monkeys have nostrils on the sides of their noses pointing outward.
