Hello everyone, welcome back to relax with animal facts. I am Steph Wolf and today I'm going to be

learning with you about our furry, scaly or possibly even slimy friends. In today's case,

it is going to be most definitely on the furrier side. We are doing, as you can probably

read from the title there, the wonderful spider monkey.

I've been looking forward to doing this podcast all week.

So this episode is dedicated to Diego Perea, who wrote in to the show through email.

So this is a special listener episode.

In fact, all of the episodes going forward

will most likely be special listener episodes dedicated to each of you that write into the show.

I've been getting so much support from you guys writing and how much you like to listen to the

podcast and also the animals you would like to hear here on the show the show so I absolutely love that you guys are so passionate about not only animals but

also I guess of relaxing at the same time although today whenever I start talking about primates

I have to catch myself because I can just you know know, talk and talk and talk and probably go a little bit too fast.

So I'm going to try to slow it down today while I will do my absolute best.

So if you want to hear your animal on the podcast, go ahead and send an email to relax with animal facts at

gmail.com and i get back to each and every one of you that write in and um you have a chance of

being on the show and of learning about an animal that you would like to learn about so again thank

you diego for making this episode possible.

So I got my facts from National Geographic, Britannica, and MNN.com. So I got them from a variety of resources.

This time, I have a lot of facts to get through and we're going to be getting into some of the specifics of, you know, what are there differences between apes and monkeys and all these different sorts of classifications and taxonomy things that that happen in the sort of primate world

because i don't believe that they were covered in the orangutan gorilla or the bonobo podcast i don't think

that that actually came up so today's going to be a very fun episode for all of us and hopefully a very educational one as well.
