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!
Stumbled across this in my regular search for monkey videos and so happy I did. Fantastic documentary. I learnt so much and the narrator is so soothing to listen to
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.
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, RU-vid 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. 😿
@Atelidaedocs, this is such a spectacular documentary and one of the most informative on RU-vid 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?
They taste yummy with Garlic, sweet chili, lime and lemon grass. That reminds me, one of my neighbors told me to stop by with my kids tonight "The kids think it's Tree Rat" and love it. because of docs like these they probably wouldn't eat "Tree rat" If they knew what it really was lol.
@@Suzetteofthewest you just gave him what he wanted. If everyone ignores trolls they find something better, to do, with their pathetic lives. Also ten year olds have a short attention span.
I'm not sure what you mean. It took a few years of looking for the monkeys, "filming" them and then writing a script for the narration. Thanks for your appreciation.
stupid tourists come a feed the monkeys, make a mess and go Aweeeee half a dozen times 4-5 times a day. it's ok, my kids make a few hundred a day off the tourists sometimes with their "Hold and feed the monkeys Business" The rangers will just shoo them off if they catch them. If an adult were to do this it's jail time! I'm in Uruguay and we have a large selection of Tamarines and Lemurs..... the little finger monkeys, Tame as a pet and love fondant sugar gum paste for cake decoratimg
It’s so messed up. That’s the problem. They feed the damn things and then they become invasive species. People keep trying to fing humanize damn monkeys and they’re nasty and need to be left the crap alone. They carry so many zoonotic diseases.. omg just hearing this dude talking is killing me. I hear every stupid slurpy crackly mouth sound and it’s killing me. Can’t watch this anymore
Having no thumbs could be a product of genetic manipulation of aliens with four fingers lol❤ but they can move thru the jungle canopy. better than most monkeys
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.
This nature video is SUPERB! The soft playing guitar and the narrator's soft voice is so relaxing. This sounds and pictures also activates my ASMR. I will save this video and will watch it often. I will also recommend it to other ASMR friends. It is also very educational. Thank you for a perfect video. Tony in St.Louis, Missouri USA!
Beautiful program. Perfect commentary and very informative. The program was one of the best edited for sound and narration unlike NG and other documentaries with loud irritating music. Kudos to the sound engineer and producer of this program. Thank you.
Thank you SO much for this. It's painful to hear the term "GAME" used to accurately describe our magnificent, precious relatives. It's hard to suppress the impulse to say, "while they are scarce and humans are not -- if primates are so tasty, hunt humans, instead.
Hi, very nice material and information about the Spider Monkey! I would like to know if we can use some of your material to make some short videos to spread the knowledge about the enviroment care. thanks and let me know if it's possible!
Garlic, sweet chili and lime! Every now and then a neighbor sees one fall from a tree.... Yep that's my story and I'm sticking to it. As long as you're not trying to sell one to a tourist or a journalist or make the news or the BBC, the rangers don't really hassle you here in Uruguay.
@@waynerainey2606 Next time you are eating one of those monkeys try looking at is hand and see the similarities in a small child. Some things YOU just DO NOT EAT.
Very nice video looking for something new to watch about monkeys see this and it's very well designed and I could follow and understand narrative of the hole video hope to see more soon
@@Atelidaedocs Oh, naturally. I remember seeing a spider monkey swinging in front of my bungalow when I had the good fortune to Lapa Rios there in the Osa 22 years ago. I love these creatures. Thanks so much for posting the video and your reply. Have a great day!
