Ateles Fusciceps Robustus is commonly known as the Columbian Black Faced Spider Monkey. It is a Primate and of the Cebidae famaliy, and is named after it’s habitat of the rainforests of Columbia, South America. Ateleles means incomplete thumb; fusciceps refers to it’s four digit or fingers; and it’s strong powerful nature is described by robustes. The spider monkey has a prehensile and extremely flexible tail. It has a black head and body with long limbs; head and body is 406-610mm (16-24in) long; it’s tail 711-864mm (28-34in); and it weighs up to 9.1kg (20lbs). Fruit makes up 80% of the spider monkey's diet; which also includes leaves, nuts, seeds, bark, insects, and flowers. It reaches sexual maturity at between 4-5 years, it’s gestation period is approximately 140 days; one offspring is typically born. This type of spider monkey will typically live for 24 years. Spider monkeys are found in social groups of up to 30 individuals; however, they are usually broken up into smaller foraging groups of 3-4 monkeys. Spider Monkeys are arboreal (live in trees), moving and climbing through the forest is by hand over hand (brachiation) motion. Their prehensile tail acts as an extra limb. The tail has a hairless patch on the tip that is used for grip. This hairless patch is unique in its markings, just like the human fingerprint. The female's clitoris is very protuberant and can be mistaken for a penis. It acts as a reservoir for urine. The male is able to smell when a female is in estrus. The differences between monkeys and apes are easy to see once you know what to look for. Apes do not have a tail and are generally larger than most other primates. They have a more upright body posture as well. Apes rely more on vision than on smell and have a short broad nose rather than a snout, as Old World monkeys do. Old World monkeys are generally from Africa and Asia, New World monkeys are from the Americas. This photograph is part of the Imagine Images Collection, hosted by Alamy.
