Structural Adaptations

Spider Monkeys have a lack of thumbs,making them not good manipulators.They have a prehensile tail that makes up the thumbs. It can use its flexible and strong arms and tail to maneuvering around in the trees. Their toes are used to get a better grip on the branches.They can blend in with other monkeys. That's called Protective Resemblance.
