SPIDER MONKEYS IN COSTA RICA

The natural history of spider monkeys in Costa Rica

[@ateol]

this is literally the most beautiful and perfect documentary ever. Here's what I like: -Beautiful, amazing footage. They all look so cute. Whoever filmed it, did a fantastic job. -Focuses on showing the organisms/environment. (And not on random people. Other documentaries annoyingly cut to show the face of some random human face talking for no reason.) -No annoying commentary. (Other documentaries put a bunch of annoying, stupid commentary with personal opinions, bad jokes, obnoxious assumptions and projections, etc...) -No dramatization and it has calm narration. (Other documentaries only show the most wild/dramatic parts and put crazy music and project their own feelings onto the animals, which doesn't show a realistic portrayal of how they live.) -Wonderfully shows lots of detailed information about this species, and their symbiotic relationship with other organisms and their environment. (Other documentaries hyperfocus on random bullshit and never address the important facts and significance.) -They are in their wild instead of locked up in a zoo or facility, so we can see how they really live. Very happy for them -Addresses the issue of their endangerment and habitat loss that humans have caused, etc... This is very important. -Very entertaining and unique editing. Cute, funny graphics that are not over-the-top. Simple, clean editing. (Other documentaries have over-the-top, obnoxious editing with too many cuts.) - And much more that I like about this documentary. No joke, a documentary that's as good as this is so rare.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I am a Masters student applying for a PhD focusing on spider monkeys and have found this breif documentary more useful as a baseline information source than roughly 50 journal articles/book chapter that I've read thus far. You've managed to pack an immense amount of inofrmation into 52 minutes, and I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon it whilst browsing youtube for a recording of spider monkey calls! Thank you!

[@Atelidaedocs]

Thank you very much for letting me know! Good luck with your Ph.D project.

[@believeinpeace]

You are so fortunate and they are lucky to have you in their lives. Do you think they will survive?

Amazing! I have never seen such a beautiful monkey like this. One thing that interested me the most is they can use their tail to catch the tree's branch.

@Atelidaedocs, this is such a spectacular documentary and one of the most informative on KZbin about Spider Monkeys. I want to make a documentary myself but I had a question for you: in your narrations, do you talk while you're filming or do you edit the video and put your voice over?

[@Atelidaedocs]

Thanks for your comment. My narratiion or voiceover is done during editing, not while filming.

[@HelmetOfHonor]

@@Atelidaedocs thank you for the reply, if you don't mind me asking, what voice app do you use for editing?

[@Lyzi.B]

Awesome visuals & incredibly informative. Thank you for taking the time to create this educational & entertaining masterpiece. It was watched, rewatched, & savored. I needed to rewind multiple times during consumption to absorb every detail. The explanations were simple & straight forward. I noticed something new each time I watched. The ties that bind us aren't typically seen. How the actions of one can directly affect & influence another. Ultimately the survival of these different species is hinged on their cooperation. In survival we're all bound together & that's amazing! From seedlings to living breathing creatures, we're like a well oiled machine! The realization that the survival of one species is imperative for the survival of another is intriguing imo. We often miss the deeper importance that everything plays large or small! Your explanations weren't rambling & went straight to the point. (Unlike mine 😹) So again, thank you! Costa Rica is an awe inspiring mashup of biodiversity! An American like myself can only dream of witnessing these creatures lives from within their natural habitat. Until then, KZbin documentaries will suffice. Glad that the government sees the value in preserving these species & their habitat for future generations. What many farmers don't realize is once they're gone, they're gone forever. We all deserve a place in the world. Sadly, both humans & primates are cousins. All desperate to carve out a place for survival. With an ever changing landscape & drastically increasing population, humans can be selfish. We forget they're simply trying to survive & flourish, as are we. The daily grind & love for their young is equally as complex & endearing. It's great that Costa Rica is attempting to preserve what's left of their jungles & forests. Even trying to recreate what's been destroyed. That's quite admirable. Extinction doesn't have a reset button, nor second chances. Humanity ought to keep that in mind. 😿

I watched this like 6 times now and many other videos about spider monkeys. I have a question. Why do they always scratch themselves? No matter where they are, they seem to randomly scratch themselves so frequently, way more than other monkeys or animals.

[@Atelidaedocs]

Chest scratching may activate the scent glands located there. Otherwise, I don’t know.
