What do you get when you get bitten by a radioactive spider?
In reality it will be poisoning and probably pain and complications!
In Marvel Universe you will become Spiderman! You can swing from one building to another and well have a spider sense!
Do you know that like always, the monkeys have already got there! Also the females have already taken the lead there!
Presenting the Spider…Monkey!
If you have seen Mission Impossible 3 then you would know the power of arc or a swing! You can see the same in MI4 also! Then again not everyone can swing like Tom!
Not every man (or woman for that matter!); so nature gives us a Monkey!
One of the most defining characteristics of the spider monkey is its long prehensile tail. The tail is strong and well-developed for arboreal life — and is often described as an extra limb and are longer than their bodies — some are as long as 35 inches!
Rather than leap from tree to tree, spider monkeys are specialists at swinging from limb to limb, and can clear great distances in a single swing.
Spider monkeys also create rich nesting sites by pooping below where they sleep! When large groups of spider monkeys converge in a region, the feces they leave behind is rich in seeds and nutrients to help grow more trees!
This pattern not only creates more food for the spider monkeys, it improves the tropical ecosystem for all creatures in the area.
Just when you thought it cannot get better and more modern; spider monkey troops are matriarchal, meaning the females play a leadership role. Females actively choose their mates when breeding, which, in the case of white-bellied spider monkeys, leads to less aggressive behavior among males. The alpha female of the troop also tends to be the decision-maker, leading the group to feeding areas and determining the ultimate size of the group!
So the males do not have to fight or be aggressive! The female would select the sensitive one who ‘listens’! It is monkey talk though!
Another unique adaptation of spider monkeys as compared to other primates is their lack of opposable thumbs on their hands. Their hands have only vestigial thumbs, the tiny nub left over from their ancestors, who did have thumbs. The absence of this extra digit gives the spider monkey a more hook like hand with long, slender fingers, providing a better grip to swing from branch to branch in its arboreal abode! So remember that thumb is not everything!
Do not say that in the biometric department though!
For now forget about spider sense and listen to the sense of hearing! Maybe some song by Madan Mohan…
Shubh ratri…
