Spider monkeys have an exceptionally long tail and legs in relation to body length, a prehensile and extremely flexible tail, and thumbs that are poorly developed or lacking. The head is small, and the muzzle prominent. The clitoris of the female is greatly elongated, so that it is often mistaken for the penis of the male.
