Spider Monkeys

Spider monkey, any of species of small, agile monkeys with long, slender limbs, inhabiting forests from southern Brazil to central Mexico. Their fur is yellowish-gray to brown with white eye rings, and they mainly eat fruits. Sometimes they hang from tree to tree to find food.

The females tend to be a little larger and heavier than males. They have very long arms, legs, and even just the tip of their tail can support the weight of their entire body.
