How many fingers does the spider monkey have?

Chimpanzees, like *all* primates have five fingers or four fingers and a thumb depending how you look at it. Their hands are very much like the hands of a human. See Related Links for a picture showing the hands of various primates including that of the chimpanzee.

Actually, a chimp, like other primates (other than the human) has five fingers, without an opposing thumb. This is why a chimp cannot grasp certain things that a human can, which has the opposing thumb. A chimp does not have a thumb, per se.

All kinds. Green leafy plants. But also vegetables, etc. I have a family member who had a spider monkey which lived for years and ate only vegs.

Does a spider monkey needs grassland?

Spider monkeys primarily inhabit tropical rainforests and are not typically associated with grasslands. They thrive in the canopy of forests, relying on trees for food, shelter, and social interaction. While they may occasionally venture into areas with less dense vegetation, grasslands do not provide the necessary resources for their survival and well-being. Therefore, spider monkeys do not need grassland habitats.
