Spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) are fascinating primates found in the lush jungles of Costa Rica. Renowned for their long, slender limbs and prehensile tails, they exhibit remarkable agility as they swing effortlessly through the canopy. In Costa Rica, these monkeys primarily inhabit the country's tropical rainforests, where they forage for fruits, leaves, and insects. Known for their complex social structures, spider monkeys typically live in large, multi-male, multi-female groups, where they engage in intricate communication through vocalizations and body language. Despite their arboreal prowess, spider monkeys face threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation and human encroachment. Conservation efforts in Costa Rica aim to protect their natural habitats and ensure the survival of this iconic species for generations to come.
