No. They are not carnivorous or cannibalistic. Spider Monkeys eat fruit, seeds, and possibly insects.
in the zoo, they are the predator... but they CAN be both in the wild
a monkey is usually a prey that is eaten by bigger animals
There are 7 to 9 species of spider monkeys in the world, genus Ateles. The related genus is Brachyteles, the "woolly spider monkey" (also known as the Muriqui). There are 3 subspecies of the black-headed spider monkey and 4 additional subspecies within the species Geoffroyi.

- Yucatan spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis
- Mexican spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi vellerosus
- Nicaraguan spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi geoffroyi
- Ornate spider monkey, Ateles geoffroyi ornatus
The most endangered spider monkeys are the black-headed spider monkey and the brown spider monkey.
they are actually omnivors which means that they eat all kinds of food. So pretty much everything. Mostly insects, but 90% of their diet is fruit.
The yellow-tailed woolly monkey is just one of the world's rarest mammals and are almost extinct. They normally reach adulthood at 4 years and typically live between 10 to 16 years.
Webs, like real spider webs? No.
The word "spider monkey" is just a descriptive name, like "dragonfly" or "bull terrier" and does not mean that these monkeys are even remotely similar (biologically) to spiders.
In the tropical rainforest, the emerald tree boa lives in the canopy. In the rainforests, yes they do
Yes the frog babies r born in the dirty water or in the oceans.
Yes they do so they will stay safer and can protect each other
spider monkeys live in tropical forests with warm weather daily temperatures
of about 25.8celsis and about 75.3farren height.
Chimpanzees are endothermic. Endothermic animals make their own heat. The heat they produce inside their bodies comes from energy from food. An endothermic animal's body engine works hard to keep its body the right temperature for activity all the time. When the outside temperature is too hot, an endothermic animal can cool off by sweating or panting. The cost an endothermic animal pays for this inside body heat system is that it must eat much more often than an ectothermic animal.
I have a female spider monkey which is now over 40 years old and has been in captivity all it's life.
She is missing some teeth but otherwise in good health
Spider monkeys have a diet that consists mainly of fruits and seeds. In times when food is scarce, spider monkeys are known to eat eggs, bark or insects.
Spider monkeys are pregnant for about 7 months (226 to 232 days).
