The yellow-tailed woolly monkey is just one of the world's rarest mammals and are almost extinct. They normally reach adulthood at 4 years and typically live between 10 to 16 years.
The largest primate in the Western Hemisphere is the woolly spider monkey called. muriqui. It is one of the most endangered of all primates and it lives along the. Brazilian coast. There are only 300- 400 woolly spider monkeys left in the world. Their near demise has resulted because of their forest habitat has been nearly. removed by loggers and those seeking farmland to grow food. Studies of the woolly spider monkey have discovered that they have a unique social. system. In a study group of 26 individuals continuously observed over 14 months, scientists found an extraordinary degree of cooperation and friendship among males.
