Black-faced Black Spider Monkey (Ateles chamek)

Almost every day I encountered either spider or howler monkeys. This black-faced black spider monkey (Ateles chamek) is part of a group I found during one of my many trips on the oxbow lake at the Amazon Research and Conservation Center (ARCC). They have made a float out of two canoes – perfect for photographers and others that want a comfortable and safe way to observe life around the lake.

This is in the evening, so they are on their way to the “camp site” for the night, but some snack on the way is definitely a good idea. Especially if it’s your favourite fruit, and you’re not full for the day.
