To track the alcohol consumption of black-handed spider monkeys, Christina Campbell of California State University, Northridge, the lead author of the new study, and graduate student Victoria Weaver spent 12-hour days following the monkeys through the rainforest. Waking up before dawn, they’d hike into the forest to find the monkeys before they woke up and started moving through the 100-foot-tall canopy. As Campbell and Weaver followed, they’d collect the fruits the monkeys would discard. (Monkeys usually only take one bite of a fruit before throwing the rest to the forest floor.)
