	Spider monkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Found in tropical forests from southern Mexico to Brazil, spider monkeys belong to the genus Ateles; the closely related woolly spider monkeys, are in the genus Brachyteles.
		Spider monkeys have hook-like, narrow and thumbless hands; the fingers are elongated and recurved.
		At 107 grams, the spider monkey brain is twice the size of a howler monkey's of equivalent body size; this is thought to be a result of the spider monkeys' complex social system as well as their diet, which consists primarily of ripe fruit from a wide variety (over 150 species) of plants.

		Spider monkey males and females are about equal in size, in contrast to howlers, in which males are about 20% larger than females.
		Individual spider monkeys often give a loud call when they encounter trees heavily laden with fruits; this call alerts other members of their community as to the location of this dietary resource and many individuals may temporarily congregate in the area to take advantage of this nutritious windfall.
		Spider monkeys have relatively large brains for their body size and it would appear that as they mature, they need time to learn the types and locations of a large number of different fruit species in the forest as well as other behaviors critical for survival.
