Red-faced Spider Monkeys at ZSL London Zoo
Spider monkeys don't actually look like spiders. It's just that their tail is so long and strong that it acts almost like another arm or leg and when they move from branch to branch, to some, they look like they move like a spider.
I can't tell if these red-faced spider monkeys are tired, bored, or very depressed about being locked up and confined into a small space.

A spider minkey's diet consists of about 90% fruits and nuts. They also eat aerial roots, barks and decaying wood, as well as honey. Foraging...
