Brown spider monkey - Nearly Extinct

This photo was taken in a zoo. Did you know that in captivity especially male primates die of heart attack? They guess that the main reason is overweight, because till now they received food that contained many important minerals and vitamines, but that was very adipose as well.
Now they started an experiment with two male gorillas living in the zoo of Cleveland. From now on these two individuals only receive food that is very similar to the things they eat in the wild.

However there is another monkey called black – headed spider monkey. As you may guess by their very similar names, they are related. If you want to help this monkey as well, you should know about the organisation the website “http://www.brookfieldzoo.org/CZS/Support-the-Society”.

People who know me also can say what to expect from this website.
