Spider Monkey!!!!!!!!!!


This is a Black Spider Monkey. It lives in the Tropical Rain Forests of Central & South America.

They have long, lanky arms, and prehensile tails that let them climb trees and swing from tree to tree in the Tropical Rainforest. Despite the fact that they lack thumbs, they still manage to keep a powerful grip on trees, and spend most of their time aloft in the canopy. Spider monkeys find food in the treetops and feast on nuts, fruits, leaves, bird eggs, and spiders.
They are noisy creatures, and communicate with loud screeches, calls, barks, and many other sounds.
