In his element
Just another shot of the Yucatan Spider Monkey (Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis) once again you can see how it uses its tail as an extra hand. Spider monkeys are fairly common as far as monkeys go across Central America and parts of South America but all species are under pressure and most are listed as endangered with some reaching critically endangered and one species as vulnerable. This specific species is listed as endangered. These monkeys are fruit and plant eaters with an occasional insect added to the mix. Apparently a lead female leads the group to food if she cannot find enough then the group splits up, each group can have 4-9 individuals.
