Yucatan Spider Monkeys having fun on a tree

Yucatan spider monkey(Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis)It is one of the largest New World monkeys, often weighing as much as 9 kg (20 lb). Its arms are significantly longer than its legs, and its prehensile tail can support the entire weight of the monkey and is used as an extra limb. It lives in societies that contain between 20 and 42 members. Its diet consists primarily of ripe fruit and it requires large tracts of forest to survive. As a result of habitat loss, hunting and capture for the pet trade, it is considered to be endangered by the IUCN. ![IMG_6060-2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeTktL9hXL2yW5jN8A2KmoWQrBWar1fc7zomP9YqjbMAB/IMG_6060-2.jpg) ^{For best image quality, please right click on it and open image in new tab.}
