Red-Faced Spider Monkey (Ateles paniscus)

Collection of dimensioned scaled drawings of the Red-Faced Spider Monkey viewed from the side and front elevations

The Red-Faced Spider Monkey, also known as the black spider monkey or Guiana spider monkey (Ateles paniscus) is a species of small primate native to South America. Red-faced spider monkeys have full control over their tails, using them as an extra appendage to hold things while their hands and feet gather food or reach for the next branch.  They live in the dense forests of Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname north of the Amazon River. They are primarily arboreal and live their lives in the upper canopy of their forests, preferring to remain in treetops higher than eighty feet above the ground.

Red-Faced Spider Monkeys have a head-body length of 16.5”-26” (42-66 cm), tail length of 25.2”-32.3” (64-82 cm), height on all fours of 13”-20.9” (33-53 cm), and body width between 7.9”-13” (20-33 cm). The typical weight of the Red-Faced Spider Monkey is in the range of 15.4-19.8 lb (7-9 kg). Red-Faced Spider Monkeys have lifespans between 25-30 years in the wild and 33-46 years in captivity.
