Here are some of the key ecosystems where spider monkeys can be found:
* Amazon Rainforest: The largest rainforest in the world, it provides vast habitat for several species of spider monkeys.
* Mesoamerican Rainforest: This region is home to the Yucatan spider monkey and other species.
* Andean Cloud Forest: This unique ecosystem, located in the Andes mountains, is home to the woolly spider monkey.
It's important to remember that the exact distribution of different spider monkey species varies within this large range.
