American spider lemur (SciiFii)

The American spider lemur (Neoatelemur aranea) is a species of adapiform primate that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relatives of the American spider lemurs are any adapiforms of the genus Notharctus. There is a slight difference in body size and weight between male and female American spider lemurs. Males are about 17–19 inches (42–50 cm) tall, while females are about 13–23 inches (34–59 cm) tall. The American spider lemur is black in fur color and has a whitish belly and a pale patch on the cheeks and ears. American spider lemurs spend 20% of their time feeding. They eat primarily fruit and seeds, along with foliage, buds, and flowers, filling the similar ecological niche to spider monkeys of Central and South America. American spider lemurs are important long-distance seed dispersal agents for many fruit-bearing species. American spider lemurs live in groups of 20 to 40 individuals, splitting into small parties of 1 to 9 when in activity. The conservation status of the American spider lemur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the American spider lemur's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
