Скачать или смотреть Central American Spider Monkeys in 34 seconds— They Love Fruit!

This is the Central American spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi). What’s on the menu for Central American spider monkeys? When the trees are your home, the branches are your kitchen. Unsurprisingly, their diet comes almost exclusively from the trees. Central American spider monkeys spend an enormous amount of their time eating (~33.5-44% by some estimates!). Fleshy and ripe fruit make up a whopping 70 to 80 percent of their feeding time. When you spend that kind of time feeding, you become a master of your craft. Central American spider monkeys are considered “ripe fruit specialists”, preferring fruits with high concentrations of lipids as well as those that have on average 1-2% alcohol content from fermentation. But don’t expect to see drunken monkeys stumbling from the trees looking for their Uber. This alcohol content isn’t enough to get them drunk, but it does increase their overall caloric consumption.
