What would happen to the spider monkeys ecosystem if they vanished?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The predators would have to find new animals to eat, and there might not be as many of those carnivores, but otherwise the ecosystem would continue as it had before.

There is some evidence that the monkeys are involved in spreading the seeds of the plants they eat, but the extent of this role is difficult to determine.

What eats the woolly spider monkey?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Facts about spider monkeys?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Spider Monkeys are known as the "trapeze artists" of the animal world. They spend much of their time swinging from limb to limb in the trees high above the jungle floor. These extremely agile monkeys are found in locations such as Mexico, Central America and Northwestern Columbia, where they live in groups of up to 30 individuals. These groups, called "troops", are generally broken down into smaller groups of 3 or 4 individuals who stay together the majority of the time.

Spider Monkeys have a diet which is made up of 90% fruit and in the wild, nuts, seeds, insects and eggs. In captivity, they are fed again, primarily fruit such as bananas, apples and oranges, but are also fed celery, carrots, lettuce and wheat bread.

Using their prehensile (Definition: adapted for grasping or seizing) tails to swing from tree branches leaves their long arms and legs free to grab food items from other branches. Female Spider Monkeys are generally somewhat larger than males and they give birth every 2 or 3 years. Because of the destruction of our rainforests, the Spider Monkey is quickly becoming an endangered species.
