L5 Spider Monkey

Spider monkeys live in rainforests in Central and South America. They are highly arboreal and flexible primates that do not make nests, instead moving frequently through the trees. Spider monkeys have a lifespan of about 27 years in the wild and eat a varied diet of fruits, leaves, insects, and twigs. They are known for using their long, prehensile tails for balance and as an extra hand for support.
