Howler monkeys are vegetarians, feeding on flowers, fruits and leaves. Within Belize, a special community based conservation organization has protected land along the Belize River for the Howler, ensuring that their food trees are not destroyed to make way for pasture. This “Community Baboon Sanctuary” has supplied numerous animals for translocation throughout Belize, most successfully within the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Howler Monkeys are everywhere in Costa Rica. Their deep calls can be heard early in the morning. They seemed to congregate at the same spots about the same time each day. They ate the mangos off the trees. Very interesting to watch and particularly to see tiny little babies hanging on to their mother as she would jump from tree to tree.

Southern Black Howler Monkey, Alouatta Caraya is a species of howler monkey, a large New World monkey, from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay, being the southernmost member of the Alouatta genus. Only the male is black; females are overall pale buff. It lives in groups of 3 to 19 individuals (usually 7 to 9). There are usually 1-3 males for every 7-9 females in a group. When mating, males and females within a single group pair off. Named for their vocalizations, they may be heard most often around sunrise. This “dawn chorus” sounds much more like roaring that howling, and it announces the howlers’ position as a means to avoiding conflict with other groups. The call can be heard up to 5 km away. These monkeys commonly sleep or rest up to 80% of the day, making it one of the least active monkeys in the New World. Their habitat is forest where they eat mostly leaves, but also will eat the occasional fruit, such as figs. They generally prefer walking and climbing to running or leaping. The prehensile tail is very strong and acts as a fifth limb, allowing the monkeys greater versatility when climbing and allowing them greater safety in the occasional fall from a high branch. Because their limb structure makes terrestrial movement awkward, they spend most of their time in the trees and only come down for water during dry spells. Otherwise the monkeys drink by wetting their hand on a moist leaf and then licking the water of their hand. Their lifespan is up to 20 years, but more commonly 15 years in the wild.

It’s of Least Concern on the IUCN list of 2008 Picture taken in Apenheul Apeldoorn, The Netherlands / Apenheul Primate Park opened in 1971 as a small primate park with a revolutionary concept: to allow the monkeys freedom of movement and allow them to mingle with the visitors. However, visitors were – and still are – strictly advised to leave the animals in peace. Petting is forbidden and (needless to say) so is feeding the animals. Some of the monkeys do interact with the visitors. But they have choice. They can totally ignore the visitors and roam and forage in the tree tops of their forest, or they can choose to come and investigate what the visitor is doing. The opportunity for contact is often among the most memorable experiences for visitors. The close encounter with exotic animals will easily lead to interest and respect for the animals.

These howler monkeys could be heard calling through the night from the jungle in Belize. Our cabins were on the edge of the jungle and they would come quite near in many numbers . They gave a sort of hooping call that got louder and louder. I thought this one was going to pounce because he shrieked as he was leaping forward. I took it from a distance but the image has softened on cropping.

Howlers are New World monkeys found in tropical Central and South America. They are aptly named for their cacophonous cries. When a number of howlers let loose their lungs in concert, often at dawn or dusk, the din can be heard up to three miles (five kilometers) away. Male monkeys have large throats and specialized, shell-like vocal chambers that help to turn up the volume on their distinctive call. The noise sends a clear message to other monkeys: This territory is already occupied by a troop. These vocal primates are the biggest of all the New World monkeys. Unlike Old World monkeys, howlers and other New World species have wide, side-opening nostrils and no pads on their rumps. Howlers also boast a prehensile tail. They can use this tail as an extra arm to grip or even hang from branches—no Old World monkeys have such a tail. A gripping tail is particularly helpful to howler monkeys because they rarely descend to the ground. They prefer to stay aloft, munching on the leaves that make up most of their diet. Taken with Nikon D50.

Caught this fella mid howl at Belize Zoo. Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta monotypic in subfamily Alouattinae) are among the largest of the New World monkeys. Nine species are currently recognised. Previously classified in the family Cebidae, they are now placed in the family Atelidae. These monkeys are native to South and Central American forests. They live in groups of usually about 18 individuals. Threats to howler monkeys include being hunted for food and captivity.(info by Wikipedia) Feature 11-30-09 /
