Aside from being hunted as food by some natives, the spider monkeys are threatened with extreme loss of habitat by human development that clears or harvests the rain forest.

Do monkeys hurt you?

A lot of things can hurt a monkey. If you break any monkey's bones, it will hurt it. If someone tries to shoot it or stab it, it will hurt it. Why would anyone try to hurt a precious, harmless, intelligent, smart, and a sensitive animal anyway?! Other things that can hurt a monkey is if it drinks alcohol, or any other bad chemicals. So, yes, things can hurt a monkey.


How does a spider monkey use defense and protection?

Monkeys do not have much in the way of defense. Normally they run away, or scream from the treetops, or throws sticks at the predator to scare it away. This is not usually effective. They can defend themselves from other monkeys, or small reptiles. But their predators are large birds, snakes, and jaguars, who are among the highest in the food chain of the rain forest.


Do the male spider monkeys eat the baby spider monkeys?

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.


What eats the woolly spider monkey?

Well, I had a BrownWoolly when I was a kid. "Sammy" was his name. They have molar type teeth "not sharp pointed teeth". Not very likely to bite as a defence. Unlike a spider monkey. They like to blast you with diareah "you will let them go" and climb up a tree if they get mad at you. They love about any type of juicy fruit. Crazy about grapes, strawberries, raisins, bananas, apples, oranges, etc. Maybe why he had diareah all the time. Love to ride on bicycle handle bars and play. Get real mad when you put them back in cage. Will unscrew a light bulb and throw it at you if you don't let them out to play. Very smart and learn way to fast. Friendly and sociable but like a hyper kid on steroids Not as bad as a spider monkey or cupichone "organ grinder monkey though. Sammy was young and about half grown. There is no better monkey as a pet but they get very strong and pretty big as they grow older. I just don't recommend any monkey as a pet unless you want your world to really rock! Sammy moved to the St. Louise zoo when he got older. Sure miss him.
