Native to neotropical rainforests ranging from Mexico to Brazil, six types of Atelidae primates use elongated limbs and specialized gripping tails to navigate the canopy, appearing spider-like while moving. Also, these diurnal tree-dwellers sustain themselves on a diverse diet, including fruits, leaves and various invertebrates.

The black spider monkey stands as the main model for studying the skull shapes of high-canopy frugivores. To see the extreme changes in New World primate evolution, collectors often place this specimen with the Mexican howler monkey skull replica to contrast the vocal-box bone and thick jaw structure.

To further diversify the collection, the Mandrill monkey skull replica and the Sooty mangabey male skull replica offer the necessary morphological contrast in massive canine development and reinforced facial bone density.
