southern woolly spider monkey
The southern woolly spider monkey, also known as Brachyteles arachnoides, is a primate species found in the forests of Brazil. This monkey is characterized by its long limbs, prehensile tail, and thick fur, which helps it adapt to its arboreal lifestyle. They primarily feed on fruits, leaves, and flowers, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal within their habitat.
These monkeys are social animals, often living in small groups. Unfortunately, the southern woolly spider monkey is classified as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this species and its natural environment.
