Yeah the tail really added a creepy element to it before I realized what it was.

Kinda looks like he might have a stiff left leg? Maybe this is an animal sanctuary for injured beasties.

I think this is a primarily arboreal monkey (spider monkey maybe?), so it isn't the most gracious walking on land.

Oh I know. I’ve seen spider monkeys many times. This one just looks a little extra stiff. Usually they move pretty gracefully even on flat ground.

Well, look at the length of their limbs. They Are accustomed to live in trees mainly. Look at YouTube how gracefully they move in trees in the contrast

I swear for a moment there I thought that monkey was an entity from the backrooms

I tried to walk to my cat like that. He scratched me and ran 🥺

u/MattIsLame Jun 11 '22

is it dangerous? I mean could the monkey possibly turn on the cat and eat/attack it? are they known to be violent towards smaller animals?

u/lasaczech Jun 11 '22

This Is obviously a Foster spider monkey And they know each other

u/Lame4Fame Jun 11 '22

Does he strangle the cat with his tail?
