Answer 1

Google "Spider Monkey"

Answer 2

For 4 good pages of research, give a physical description then tell about their habitats, diets, mating habits (courtship/gestation/birth), social rankings and lifespan.

Spider monkeys are New World monkeys of the family Atelidae, subfamily Atelinae. Found in tropical forests from southern Mexico to Brazil, spider monkeys belong to the genus Ateles; the closely related woolly spider monkeys, are in the genus Brachyteles.

Answer 3

4 pages isn't too bad. this is an easy assignment and shouldn't be hard at all. start out with history (if you need more stuff, start out as far back as you can and show/tell how spider monkeys evolved) and their classification and different types of spider monkeys. talk a lot about their foods (all sorts of things they can eat, if you know why then you can talk about how they can eat so much different stuff - i'm talking about their digestive tracts and things like that). talk about their general stuff, like the stuff you've already talked about. tell about how they have social hierarchy and how that develops (who's the boss and why/how they get there. do the babies sort of inherit the mom's rank the way elephants do? things like that). reproduction, and how they care for their babies. how many babies do they have? how many males in the troop (what's a "troop")? are they "new world" or "old world" primates? what do those terms mean? what their life cycle is like and the exact types of environments they live in. if you still need stuff to write about by now, then you can talk about things that zoos do for their spider monkeys (like behavioral enrichment and what that means) but i'm not sure if your teacher would want you to talk about that or not. it's almost always okay to talk about "interesting facts" of animals.

Answer 4

Can't help wondering about what happens in Mexico and Brazil if a woman goes in the bathroom and finds a spider monkey in the bath!

Do they give their husbands a broom and tell him to go and kill it like the half-dead thing about half the size on my little fingernail that my wife found last Tuesday in the sink?

How about typing SPIDER MONKEY into the search bar on your computer?
