      One of the most rare primate species - thanks for posting this photo. I really wish I could see them with my own eyes. I read somewhere before that a baby was born a couple of years ago, do you know how many of these monkeys Twycross have right now?

      This photo also shows the distinctive form of a spider monkey's hand - thumbless, with fingers like sharpened pencils...

      You're welcome :) I'll be posting further photos of this group here soon.

      I definitely saw three individuals (two male and one female I think) in the outside enclosure, but I don't know if there were others indoors.
