Classification

The species name is given in honor of the French naturalist Etienne Geoffrey . Related species are Ateles belzebuth and Ateles hybridus . Five subspecies of Geoffrey's coata are distinguished: ^[2] ^[3]

Ateles geoffroyi geoffroyi
Ateles geoffroyi grisescens
Ateles geoffroyi ornatus
Ateles geoffroyi vellerosus
Ateles geoffroyi yucatanensis

Some authors also distinguish subspecies Ateles geoffroyi azuerensis and Ateles geoffroyi frontatus . ^[4] In addition, Ateles fusciceps is sometimes considered synonymous with Ateles geoffroyi , and is sometimes regarded as a separate species. ^[2] ^[5] ^[6] ^[7]

Description

Geoffrey coats are relatively large primates. Body length from 30 to 63 cm, weight from 6 to 9 kg. ^[8] ^[9] Tail length from 63 to 85 cm. Males are slightly larger than females. ^[10]

The color of the coat differs in different subspecies, and can be reddish, red, brown, black or light brown. ^{[11] The} forelegs and feet of the hind limbs are black. The face has bright spots around the eyes and nose. ^[9]

The limbs are long and thin. ^{[12] The} arms are approximately 25% longer than the legs. ^[13] The thumb is reduced, the remaining fingers are long and strong, which is an adaptation to brachyation . ^[13]

The tail of the grasping type, used as an additional limb, can support the full weight of the animal. ^{[14] The} clitoris of the females is very long, often larger than the penis of the males. ^[fifteen]

Distribution

They are found everywhere in Central America . The range includes Panama , Costa Rica , Nicaragua , Guatemala , Honduras , El Salvador , Belize and southern Mexico . ^[3] Southern subspecies, A. g. grisescens , possibly found in Colombia near the border with Panama. ^[3] ^{[7] It is} inhabited by various types of forests, including tropical rain and deciduous, as well as mangroves. ^[16]

Behavior

Daytime tree animals. ^[9] They descend to earth more often than other arachnids. ^[17] Form large communities from 20 to 42 individuals. Each community consists of several groups spending time together searching for food. ^[18] In groups of 2 to 6 individuals. ^[13] In some areas, Geoffrey coats interact with ordinary capuchins . Such interaction may include mutual grooming . ^[19]

Fruits are predominantly in the diet, in addition - young leaves and shoots, as well as flowers, tree bark, insects, nectar and seeds. ^[20] ^[21]

Females give birth every 2-4 years. ^[9] Pregnancy lasts about 7.5 months, usually one litter, rarely two cubs. ^[15] Up to five months, all cubs are black. The first month after birth, they cling to the mother’s belly, then crawl onto their backs. ^[13] Females reach puberty at the age of four, males at the age of five. In captivity, life expectancy is up to 33 years. ^[13]

Population Status

The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assigned this species an endangered status due to the rapid destruction of its habitat. Three subspecies in critical position. Another threat to the mind is hunting. ^[four]
