monkey spider common

Spider monkeys are recognizable by their slim anatomy and mainly by their tail and legs, which allow them to swing from branch to branch with great agility.

FEEDING
These primates, with a basically herbivorous diet, feed on fruits, nuts and leaves, but they can consume the eggs of birds, insects, spiders, tree bark and honey.

They are also located towards the south along the margin of the Andes mountain range to the center of Bolivia and starting from there towards the state of Mato Grosso, in Brazil, to the Teles, Pires and Tapajós rivers.

Among the most terrible causes that are progressively bringing the spider monkey to the brink of extinction are indiscriminate deforestation and constant harassment by those who do not know that the correct way to admire it is by taking care of it, not removing it from its natural habitat; This is because the spider monkey is quite in demand by some people as a pet.
