While not unique to spider monkeys, the long prehensile tail is unusually developed in the spider monkey, and it can use its tail to stand and walk upright on two legs.

It can't.Spider monkeys are named for their resemblance to spiders with their long thin limbs and tail. Spiders are not related to spider monkeys biologically.

Spider monkeys are primates living in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. They have comparatively long, spindly limbs and a long prehensile tail. They are tree dwellers and currently endangered due to the loss of natural habitats.A spider monkey is a tropical American monkey of the genus Ateles and have a slender body.
The black-handed spider monkey has a light to medium brown body and darker limbs with the hands and feet usually black in color. The tail is sometimes longer than the body. When the animal is on the lookout, it stands or walks on two feet, using the tail to hold on to a support.

The spider monkey, like all monkeys, is a primate and a mammal. Like humans, the young are born live after a gestation (pregnancy) of about 226-232 days. The spider monkey is named for its long appendages and tail, and its deft swinging motion between trees, not because of any biological relationship to spiders.
