This video was filmed by Tamara and Ben at the Arcas Wildlife Sanctuary in Guatemala where we have been volunteering. For more information on ARCAS, please visit their website at http://www.arcasguatemala.com

This monkey came into ARCAS care on the 29th of february at 549g, the 4th of may the day of the filming he was 655g, and right now he is 688g and eats by himself. The process of rehabilitation of spider monkeys includes hand feeding and introduction of tastes and textures for several weeks or months. He was fed with a syringe adapted with a bottle nipple for a few weeks, and then introduced to solid food (what is shown in the video), and now has grown into feeding by himself, this will lead to growth and strengthening before he can be introduced to more monkeys in a near future to form a troop and develop into a candidate for release within a healthy group. Due to their physiology juvenile spider monkeys bulge a lot after feeding and will have an almost empty digestive system within 2 or 3 hours.

Caution: This video contains some minor cursing and some major laughter.

You have overfed that baby and you were certainly way too rough when you took the stuffed animal away and wrapping him up. The look on your face shows frustration. Where did you get your training anyway?

[K Goodwin]

You are a disgusting, Human being for forcing that monkey to eat!!!!!!!!!!

woooooow...i used to let htem in in India and they would sit in a row waiting for a hand of riceo, but that was not wise since they where wild and carried disease, besides, the bull was as big as king kong with lions teeth lol
