The Variegated Spider Monkey (Ateles hybridus), also known as the Brown Spider Monkey, is a critically endangered species native to northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela. At Copenhagen Zoo, these primates are housed in the World of Primates exhibit, which underwent significant renovations in 1997 to enhance the living conditions for its inhabitants.

While specific details about individual Variegated Spider Monkeys at Copenhagen Zoo are not readily available, the zoo is committed to conservation efforts and participates in European breeding programs for endangered species. These programs aim to maintain genetic diversity and support the survival of species like the Variegated Spider Monkey.
