Two spider monkeys hanging out together
Spider monkeys are very active at Chan Chich Lodge. While the howlers pretty much ignore us, their distant cousins, the Spiders really let you know they see you and are noy happy you've come into their territory.
Spider monkeys are considered the third most intelligent animal, behind the orangutan and the chimpanzee. Just like chimpanzees, spider monkey faces darken with age and they grow grey beards in their elder years. This is a great shot of 2 old wise old friends.
