This is a Spider Monkey. He lives in a Rainforest with lots of trees and leaves. He eats leaves and nuts and lives up in the trees. He uses his tail to swing from branches and to hold on. In 1000 years, he will live in the grass because most of the trees fell down. It is so hot the trees can't live, and other plants die too. It is not easy for the Spider monkeys to find nuts and leaves. Since the Spider monkeys do not live in the trees their tails have gotten shorter over time. They do not need to swing in trees anymore.
