Best Answer

Spider monkeys are primates, not Spiders, and definitely not cannibals. They are herbivorous, but with some species also eating insects.

A female spider monkey normally has only one baby, or a maximum of two, about every 2 to 4 years. Adult male monkeys do not contribute much in the way of child care, but neither do they seek to harm the younger ones in their community.
