Spider Monkey
Audubon Zoo is proud to house and care for a colony of back handed spider monkeys. These social animals tend to live in groups of about 30 animals. When threatened, these animals will “bark,” shake tree limbs, jump up and down, and throw branches. Despite these defenses, spider monkeys are hunted for the pet trade in Central America and are subsequently disappearing in most areas accessible to man.
