Top 10 Rarest Animals In The World
7. Peruvian Spider Monkey – The rarest primate in the world
Compared to other monkey species, the Peruvian spider monkeys are relatively large. Their muscular tails can go up to a meter long, while their fur and face are black. They have four elongated fingers and have virtually no thumb, typical for spider monkeys yet unusual for other monkeys. The exact number of the Peruvian spider monkey’s total population is unknown. Yet, they are considered Endangered on the IUCN Red List, and their population is said to be rapidly declining.
