Spider monkeys eat fruit, leaves, flowers and decaying wood.  Their forms of locomotion include brachiation, climbing and suspension.  They have fission-fusion communities in which the adult males travel together; they are able to travel at a faster rate than the females and their infants.  These monkeys are diurnal and arboreal.  Their mating duration is five to ten minutes.  Female spider monkeys have an elongated clitoris for scent marking.
