The woolly spider monkey is the largest primate in South America. These animals live in the Atlantic costal forest of Brazil. They also use a strong tail to move through the trees. Unlike other monkeys, this species does not have thumbs. This adaptation helps them swing quickly through the canopy.

These primates live in very peaceful social groups. Males do not fight for dominance. Instead, they live in harmony within their forest homes. Because they are so rare, they are now listed as Critically Endangered.

International Monkey Day - December 14th

International Monkey Day has been created to celebrate monkeys on December 14th, as well as “all things simian,” which includes lemurs, tarsiers, apes, and other non-human primates. It is a great day when it comes to raising awareness about different types of monkeys and primates around the world, as well as the issues they face and how we can help them.
