Central American Spider Monkey

Ateles geoffroyi

These monkeys were the most athletic of any primate I have ever seen.
They were truly amazing to watch as they leapt great distances through the trees with incredible speed and agility with their infants holding on for dear life.

Incredible, Ann. I have never seen a monkey shot with it's young like that. V

Terrific image Ann. Must be tough to do with a young one hanging on.

Well captured Ann. The infant seems sleepy despite the speed :-)
