Spider Monkeys

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.

i guess climbing up and down a tree and swinging in vines

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.

leaves, fruit, flowers, flower buds, and insect larvae

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.

It depends. Some of them are very shy and are almost afraid of their own shadow, while others are adventurous and outgoing. Some of them are also mean and like to scratch and nip you if you don't handle them correctly. Older males tend to be territorial and attack unfamiliar people.

spider monkeys arent that big, an adult weighs about 15 to 19 pounds and they can be 16 to 24 inches long and their tail can go up from 24 to 32 inches long, so most of them have tails longer than their bodies.

Spider monkeys are primates living in Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. They have comparatively long, spindly limbs and a long prehensile tail. They are tree dwellers and currently endangered due to the loss of natural habitats

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.

Spider monkey females have one to four babies in their lifetime. Normally this is just one baby at a time every 2 to 4 years.

probably via sexual intercourse

The layer it lives in is the Understory, which is above the Forest Floor and below the Canopy. Spider Monkeys are found near the equator, in the wild regions of Central America and northern South America.

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.

I believe that spider monkeys have mutations, but it does not affect them.

The Spider Monkey disperses fruit seeds that then grow into fruit that the Toucan eats.

Other than that the animals do not effect each other in the Tropical Amazon rain forest.
