The brown spider monkey or variegated spider monkey (Ateles hybridus) is a critically endangered species of spider monkey, a type of New World monkey, from forests in northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela.

Like all spider monkeys, it has long, slender limbs and a long prehensile tail. The brown spider monkey has a whitish belly and patch on the forehead, and – highly unusual among spider monkeys – its eyes can be pale blue.

Image Notes:
This photo was taken in the indoor enclosure with the monkey looking out of the window. Tripods weren’t allowed and the light level was generally low. Flash was out of the question as it would alarm the monkey. I kept the image as the blur seems to enhance the emotion of the monkey in the picture. I like it.
