Photographer's Note
This photo was taken during our boat trip on Tortuguero canal. Usually, when we were lucky to spot a wild animal, we would take lots of photos hoping one or two would turn out to be fine. Well, as it happened here, none of them was perfect due to the distance, but all of them were interesting and looked as if this "little monkey" :-)) was giving us a show, just for our pleasure, as you will be able to see in the series of WS.
In fact, when I made some research, I found out he wasn't making his show, but just living his normal life.
GEOFFREY'S SPIDER MONKEY : Its arms are considerably larger than its legs, and it has a prehensible tail that can support its entire weight, and is used as an extra-limb.
It spends 75% of its feeding time eating ripe fruit.
Unfortunately, it's an endangered species due to the loss of habitat (forests), and capture for the pet trade or zoos. So we were happy to be able to visit Costa-Rican preserved forests where monkeys seemed to be plentiful.
We were also lucky to see capuchin monkeys which I didn't manage to photograph, and howler monkeys which I will show you in my next post.
6 WS for a diaporama.

Morning Marie- I hope you are enjoying sunny weather in Brittany today.
This is a lovely image of a spider monkey - not always easy to capture- lovely focus with him/her looking directly at you- did you enjoy the canal trip? I would be interested to hear more about the trip- have you got photos of the boat.. Chat soon Rich

Bonjour, chère amie Marie-Louise,
Félicitations pour avoir su saisir ce singe-araignée en train de se régaler des fruits environnants (cette photo est parfaite pour distinguer son visage disposant de grands yeux malins).
Sa morphologie lui permet de se mouvoir dans toutes les positions.
Un grand merci pour ce partage édifiant.
Excellente journée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
Il me semble bien malicieux de singe araignée comme nous pouvons le voir également sur tes photos en WS. Mais ici nous voyons bien qu'il semble t'avoir repéré !!! Ce doit être un exploit pour tomber dessus surtout avec une végétation aussi dense... Intéressant et attendrissant coup d'oeil, merci Marie-Louise.
Avec toutes mes amitiés et un excellent dimanche,
Jean-Charles

Bonsoir Marie-Louise,
En liberté dans ce milieu naturel, l'animal a un comportement plus intéressant que dans un zoo. J'espère qu'il en restera toujours en liberté. Bonne et intéressante photo. Bravo.
Bonne soirée

Hello Marie-Louise,
Again, you have presented to us a whole well-illustrated story from Costa Rica, this time about such a beautiful creature in its natural habitat. Excellent composition and perfect quality despite the long distance, and highly interesting and informative note! Thanks for the very useful visual, textual and cartographic information!
Best regards,

Nice place avec un singe et une bonne vue, de belles couleurs et les photos.
Bon travail avec les photos de l'atelier, mes félicitations.
Un bel après-midi et tout le meilleur.

Bonjour MarieLouise
Quelle aisance pour ce primate dans ce milieu végétal.Il ne semble pas malheureux le bougre mais peut-être est-il possible que son biotope soit en danger.
Bonne après-midi

Hi MarieLouise,
It is so much fun to watch the monkeys do monkey things. They are very active and full of surprises. This one is really talented and flexible in the way he hangs around and swinging from branch to branch gathering fruits. I wish I could be as flexible, when I was little I love to claim trees for fruits.
Very nice shots and I enjoyed the different WS shots as well. Thanks.

Bonjour Marie Louise,
J'ai des bandes de singes partout autour de ma maison et sur mon toit, à Goa en Inde, et ils sont pratiquement impossibles à photographier... à peine ils te voient ou entendent, ils détalent à toute vitesse...
Celui ci est bien mignon, suspendu par la queue... C'est sur que pour ces distances, il faut du gros matériel, mais bon, elle est sympa quand même!
Mes amitiés

Bonjour Marie-Louise,
Un vrai défi cette photo avec un acrobate pareil !
J'aime l'expression et la position de l'animal. C'est encore un animal en voie de disparition comme tant d'autres, comme c'est dommage.
Amicalement

Salut Marie Louise. A great acrobatic scene caught up in the right moment. Natral colors are very nice, sharpness is great for an action scene. Nice to see that are some places left for some species to survive. Great shot and note.
HAve a nice day.

Hi MarieLouise,
I really enjoy your photos from Costa Rica, perhaps not technically perfect, but with great feeling of presence and almost being there yourself. You could very well imagine what it looked like in reality. TFS and have nice week!
Kind regards,

Allô Marie Louise!
Toutes intéressante tes photos du Costa Rica qui me rappellent de bons souvenirs. Je n'avais pas de caméra numérique dans le temps et je prenais beaucoup de films avec mon camescope. Il est vraiment magnifique ce singe dans un bel environnement de verdure. Je préfère celle-ci au WS pour la composition en respectant la règle des tiers. Excellente qualité d'image pour une photo prise de loin.
Toutes mes amitiés et merci de ta visite,
Emilius

Bonjour Marie Louise
Quel athlète; Tarzan pour aller se rhabiller!
Et le ciel vous a procuré une lumière diffuse pour une belle illustration uniforme de ce sujet exotique digne des reportages du magazine Géo!
Le tronc est judicieusement placé sur une ligne d'intérêt verticale pour un agencement agréable.
Amicalement.

Hola, MarieLouise!
Una maravillosa imagen del mono con tanto verde a su alrededor, con tonos muy bonitos y naturales! Me gusta la idea de movimiento del animal brincando en las ramas de los árboles, y mirando desconfiado hacia la fotógrafa! Excelente trabajo!
