On your next trip to Sandos Caracol Eco Experience Resort, keep an eye on the trees! You just might see a family of spider monkeys swinging among the branches of the tree canopy overhead. Spider monkeys are native to the Riviera Maya region, and since Sandos Caracol has stunning natural jungle surroundings, you just might spot some of these wild animals if you keep an eye out. Some guests have even reported seeing these creatures on their hotel room balcony when staying at Sandos Caracol! Spider monkeys are more intelligent than gorillas, and their brains are twice the size of a howler monkey's brain. These monkeys don't have thumbs; instead, they have four fingers on each hand that are adapted for grabbing tree branches. They can also grab with their tail, which they often use as a fifth limb. Although they only reach about 20 inches tall, their tail alone can measure up to 30 inches. They eat mostly fruits and nuts, and we know that their diet can include up to 150 different kinds of plants. They play an important part in spreading seeds throughout the jungle, so they're considered a "bioindicator". Spider monkeys give birth to one offspring every 2 to 4 years, and they can live up to 20 years. Just remember that if you see a spider monkey at Sandos Caracol or in the wild, do not feed them! These fascinating animals have a very specific diet that consists of natural foods found in their habitat, and their eating habits are a fundamental part of the local environment, helping to spread seeds and let new plants grow in the jungles of the Riviera Maya. When you stay at Sandos Caracol Eco Experience Resort, you'll also find plenty of other beautiful animals. We have rescue animals living at the resort like macaws, donkeys, peacocks and white-tailed deer, in addition to lots of wild animals running around, such as raccoons, coatis, iguanas and wild cats.
