Aileen! Once your spotting has been identified, you can update it. On the top of this page you will see "edit this spotting" click on that and you can edit all of the fields :)
yes mr peter. the taronga zoo.
Its not rare, they are native to America so that makes it rare for you. Welcome to Project Noah!
really different.... dis is d first time i have seen dis type of monkey..... gud one...... is it rare..????
True! I just checked the Sidney zoo, it is a Ateles geoffroyi.
You're right, look at the black hands
I think maybe a Geoffroy's spider monkey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffroy%27s_Spider_Monkey This is a Brown spider: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/5389244
Carolina, what about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Spider_Monkey Aileen, was this taken in a zoo? Spider monkey's are mostly indigenous to South America.
No, not a brown woolly. But you're right looks like an Atelidae.
Looks like a spider monkey, might be a wooly brown one.
