In its native Outer Inbetweenica the spider monkey diet consists of almost 60% insects. Though the spider monkeys don't spin webs they're very good at catching bugs. The do this by holding so tightly to a tree trunk that they are completely rigid and still. The arm not holding onto the tree is held up like a branch. As bugs pass by the seemingly harmless tree branch the spider monkeys grab and eat them. They will also eat small birds that land on their hands, but the spider monkeys are eaten by large birds of prey who aren't fooled by the tree branch act. How lame is fruit for dessert? |
