SPIDER MONKEY & MAN
Throughout much of its range, the black spider monkey is hunted by man for food. Being both noisy and quite large, the spider monkey is an easy target for darts or arrows.
Spider monkeys are active during the day and are found in various group sizes from singly to about 40 depending on the scarcity or otherwise of the fruits on which it feeds. There are three times as many adult females as adult males in a group.
