It’s easy to see why they call these guys spider monkeys. Less obvious is why they call them Geoffroy’s spider monkeys. Photographed on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 260mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.
Well they changed their name to “Geoffroy’s Spider Monkey” because they were originally “Jeffrey’s Spider Monkey” but between Esptein and Dahmer the “Jeffrey” thing wasn’t helping the brand.

Poor monkey looks anorexic!
He’s a healthy, well-fed boy. Just good genes.

Cool looking monkey, Sean. Thanks for sharing!
I see the resemblance, but where’s the other four legs? LOL Cool pic capturing him in the midst of a swing.
