Spider Monkeys

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).

Spider monkeys are active during the day.

They are about two feet tall and weigh about 20 pounds.

Herbivore

It is just a term he uses while he climbs the tree.

Spider monkeys live in tropical rainforests located in central and south America and can be found in far north as Mexico. Other species can be found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. They thrive in evergreen, semi deciduous and mangrove forests and almost never come down to ground level.

These monkeys live in the highest parts of the trees found in rain forests, known as the 'upper canopy'. They prefer undisturbed high forests, but sadly due to the loss of their preferred habitat, they being forced into different types of forests.

The spider monkey are well adapted for life in the treetops as they are strong and agile, and can fond all kinds of food, such as nuts, fruits, leaves, bird eggs, and spiders. This means the diet of the spider monkey is omnivorous.

The spider monkeys' habitat is disappearing at an alarming rate. It is thought that over 35,000 acres of mature rain forest a day, is being destroyed to make way for new farm land. This habitat loss coupled with many monkeys being shot for food and their low maturation, is pushing this species closer to the brink of endangerment and extinction.

Any organisation that helps prevent deforestation in South America will help save these marvellous monkeys from extinction.

It is a primary consumer. It eats insects but is a favorite food of the Kangaroo rat.

It's very improbable that humans evolved from apes, but we most likely did evolve from a common ancestor. Actually, it's very likely that humans evolved from apes -- ancestors of chimpanzees, more specifically. Evolutionary biologists have known that for quite some time, but recent genetic discoveries have revealed that the genes of chimps and humans differ by only about 1.23 percent. Further, genetic researchers at Harvard and MIT have recently propounded the theory that humans and chimp ancestors diverged millions of years ago and then came back together through interbreeding. Primates, including chimps and bonobos, didn't become extinct the moment the new species emerged from them. That is not the way evolution works. Although it's possible, even likely, that a new species will be able to procreate more successfully and eventually dominate other, older species, perhaps to the point of their extinction, it's not necessarily so.

They are a primate and a mammal so they have alive birth.

The spider monkey knows when to reproduce by watching at the female monkey getting her cycle to start to reproduce. The female monkey has a monthly cycle from 24 to 27 days long. Mating occurs from 2 to 3 days. If they don't stay together for the length of 3 days then no baby can be conceived. Monkeys usually mate when they are mature enough. The male becomes sexually mature at the age of 5 and the female at the age of 4. The spider monkey is ready to let go of her baby when it is 15 months old. The mother carries her young from 6 to 15 months. When they mate only one single monkey is born, so the enemies can easily kill them.

its got a curly tail to hold its self on to branches and trees and to help keep the monkeys balance, it has long fingers to help it grab onto branches/viness, it has long toes also to help keep its balance on trees and branches.

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.

A spider monkey has furry skin.

The spider monkey is a primate of the genus Ateles. Like all monkeys and other primates, it is a mammal and therefore an animal (kingdom Animalia). It is definitely not a plant, fungus, bacteria, or protist, which make up the other extant kingdoms.

Spider monkeys are vertebrates, mammals, and primates (like man). Their family is Atelidae and their genus Ateles.

The related genus is Brachyteles, the "woolly spider monkey" (also known as the Muriqui).

Well, Monkeys like to sleep high up in trees, because the tree provides a place of safety for them. They usually sleep between branches but baby monkeys are known to sleep in their mother's arms.
