What are adaptations for a spider monkey?

In: Monkeys [Edit categories]

Answer:

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.
