# Geoffroy's Spider Monkey vs Kinkajou: Who Would Win?

Geoffroy's Spider Monkey vs Kinkajou is too close to call. Our 3-round simulation gives Geoffroy's Spider Monkey a 50% chance and Kinkajou 50%, which is not enough for either to claim the win.

Both are at home in rainforest, so the simulation's neutral ground is close to where they actually live.

## Verdict: Too close to call
- **Win probability**: Geoffroy's Spider Monkey 50%, Kinkajou 50%
