    The spider monkey is a small monkey found in Central and South America. It lives high in the treetops of tropical forests and eats fruits, vegetables, leaves, flowers, bark and seeds. Spider monkeys live in family groups and use their long tails like a fifth limb. They are endangered due to hunting, habitat loss from land clearing, and other threats. Conservation efforts aim to protect the estimated 4,000 spider monkeys remaining.
