What is two functional adaptations of spider monkey?
Think about what an adaptation is - a naturally occurring heritable trait that is favorable to survival and reproduction. Now think of where a spider monkey lives - in the trees. What traits would help a spider monkey live successfully in the trees? One answer might be their flexible prehensile tails. Another answer might be their hook-like, narrow and thumbless hands; the fingers are elongated and recurved. Both the prehensile tails and fingers allow spider monkeys to live a strictly arboreal (tree) lifestyle.
