The Spider Monkey is a type of primate found primarily in the tropical forests of Central and South America. Known for their long limbs and prehensile tails, these monkeys are excellent climbers and spend most of their time in trees. They have a distinctive appearance, with a slender body and a face that often features a flat nose.
Spider monkeys are social animals, living in groups that can range from a few individuals to over twenty. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, leaves, and flowers, making them important for seed dispersal in their ecosystems. Unfortunately, habitat loss and hunting threaten their populations.
