There is always fun to be had at Nashville Zoo.
Besides roaming our trails, grabbing a bite to eat, visiting our veterinary center, taking a spin on the carousel, feeding the lorikeets, and petting the goats - we have a variety of Keeper Chats where you can learn all about your favorite animals from our Zookeepers!
Spider Monkey Keeper Chat
Spider monkeys get their common name for their extremely long, spidery limbs and prehensile tail, which can support their entire weight and is often used as a third arm for movement. Spider monkeys are adapted for an arboreal lifestyle - swinging through the trees with a hand over hand motion called semi-brachiation. You can catch this keeper talk outside of the spider monkey habitat.
