Ateles belzebuth
This spider monkey lives at La Isla De Los Monos. He is 3 years old.
Spider monkeys are arboreal.They thrive in the rain forest canopy with little competition from other monkeys.
To my knowledge there is no real Yellow-bellied Spider Monkey, although this one is sometimes called like this. But I think it is not the correct common name. Please, verify yourself! Ateles geoffroyi is a Central American, also endangered species, but not found in Peru.
