structural adaptations of specifically the spider monkey include its lack of thumbs , making them not very good manipulators. They also have a prehensile tail that makes up for the lack of a thumb because it can be used like a hand to carry objects with . The tail has a fleshy pad on its underside which allows them to hang securely with hands free.The tail is strong enough to grip a limb and support its entire body weight. The tail also helps them swing from branch to branch in the canopy of the rainforest
