Exclusive: Rare Ghost Monkeys Filmed in Colombia | National Geographic

"For several years former National Geographic grantee Andrés Link has followed two rare, all-white spider monkeys that live in the fragmented tropical forests of the Magdalena River valley of Colombia. The remote habitat of these ""ghost monkeys"" makes this perhaps the first time they’ve been filmed. The all-white characteristic of the normally brown monkeys could be related to a genetic bottleneck caused by habitat fragmentation and the loss of forests, converted to land for agriculture.

This is the sort of thing that National Geographic does best, providing a glimpse of the rare and the fragile in the natural world.

[@rajeshsharma-uw1ln]

Good

[@annecorey607]

Beautiful animals very good looking animals thank you for sharing your beautiful video love you all thanks.

[@Quagmire1311]

Can we please do something about this. The world leaders are too focused on human welfare, they dont see the importance of our ecosystem. This concerns everyone. Can we please do something.

[@asmallbaby]

You misspelled "profit", they do not care about human welfare lmao

[@rajkumaroberoi8]

Can"t we declare this species rare of rarest.

[@ayannagnz]

They are so cute!

[@Saratrooper]

Wouldn't they actually be considered leucistic and not albino?

[@PandoraBVV]

+ obakester Yep! Thanks for posting that point!

[@franksckupakus6138]

hey watch your mouth! Sometimes kids will be reading this

[@lanafan4993]

Awesome Cute S🙊🙉🙈🐵Cute 🐒😍Beautiful🥰Nature 🐾RightS🙏🏼😘✌🏼☮️✌🏼

[@bhushanarora3078]

National geographic gives us such rare images of the animals and birds which we don't see an6

[@yeshiadmasu2563]

How they are beautiful animals.

[@andresfelipecardona4847]

increible... esperemos el estudio de ADN a ver que arroja..

[@mythicalhopperaj5613]

There so cute.

[@breAnnasmama]

They’re ….. not “ there “. There is a place… over there.. THEY’RE means they + are.. THEY’RE!!!!!!

[@marlinsiecinski6677]

Isnt it normal for Albino to have red or pink eyes

[@tobenhunter1172]

preserve the monkeys!!!

[@sharonanz5522]

yes there are albino humans. But they all have had pink or red eyes. with the condition I had been introduced to. so I would think another species of monkey, maybe old world. they are all so pretty.

[@half.breed83]

There are albino macaques that have red eyes there not really albino

[@breAnnasmama]

THEY’RE…. Not “ there”… there is a place… they’re means they + are! ….. Omg’ also , you guys are so wrong and out of your element … macaques are old world monkeys … they have tails but they’re NOT prehensile … they also have nostrils facing downward , NOT outward …. At least get the facts straight

[@breAnnasmama]

Old world monkeys do not have nostrils facing outward and they do not have prehensile tails… genetically these so called albino monkeys indicate that they’re carrying whichever allele or recessive trait to indicate inbreeding , so they know that much.. snd by all other appearances, they look like spider monkeys, so I don’t know why Anyone would suggest they’re old world monkeys/ macaques … the entire classification of old world versus new world stems on the two characteristics I mentioned.. no prehensile tail and nostrils in old world monkeys facing downward , not outward ..

[@user-yw3go8sk5r]

手長猿ですね。クモザルが好きですが、ボルネオとコスタリカでは、遠すぎでした。

[@Sincerelysonya123]

They are gorgeous.. thank you very much. I hate it that people get so greedy that they wipe out God’s beautiful creatures that belong here just as much as we do 🐒🐵🍂💔

[@biancacarrera5795]

MUERO MÓVIL .DÍA 😇😇😇

[@mchevre]

In case anyone was wondering "Hey are those the dad monkeys carrying the babies?" The answer is nope, those are moms. Female spider monkeys have long hanging vaginas - they're actually more well hung than the males of their kind.

[@user-cp3we9gc6x]

No
