EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases the distinct features of Ateles paniscus, also known as the red-faced black spider monkey, a New World monkey native to the Amazon rainforests of Brazil. Photographed by renowned wildlife photographer Frank Greenaway, this image offers a close-up view of the monkey's expressive face, with its prominent red cheek patches, large, round, expressive eyes, and intriguing nose. Ateles paniscus is a member of the Atelinae subfamily, within the Atelidae family, and is part of the larger order Primates, specifically the infraorder Simiiformes and superorder Haplorhini. This primate is known for its long, prehensile tail, which it uses for balance and locomotion, and its agile limbs, which allow it to move easily through the dense Amazon forest canopy. The monkey's eyes, with their large, round shape and dark pupils, convey a sense of intelligence and curiosity. The presence of an eyespot, a small, circular area of lighter coloration around the monkey's pupil, is a common feature in many primates and is thought to help improve visual acuity in bright light. Ateles paniscus is an important species in the Amazon ecosystem, playing a role in seed dispersal and contributing to the overall health and diversity of the rainforest. This striking photograph not only highlights the unique beauty of this fascinating primate but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the Amazon rainforest and the many species that call it home.
