Spider monkeys have good taste buds which allow them to determine if their food is healthy. Their long tails act as a grip and make up for the fact that they have only 4 fingers and no thumb. This allows them to reach fruit hanging from high branches.

Well it has a prehensile tail to help swing from tree to tree and also it is strong and very flexible, it also has thin fur to keep it cool when it needs to cool down in the rainforest. Unlike any other monkey it doesnt use it's hands to keep balance! It uses it's tail so that tail is very important. Monkeys are a fantastic and I hope you learnt alot

Spider monkeys have extremely long and flexible arms for manoeuvring around the trees. Their toes are long and flexible for having a better grip on tree branches. Spider Monkeys have no thumbs and four long fingers for a hook grip which allows it to swing from branch to branch really easily without falling. The tail is very strong for taking most of the monkey's weight in the trees. Finally the underside of their tail is packed with sweat glands so it does what sweat glands do.
