howler monkeys
Roaring jungle apes
Howler monkeys are large primates of Central and South America known for their extraordinarily loud vocalizations—their roars can be heard from miles away through dense forest.
They live in troops, move slowly through the canopy, and eat mostly leaves.
The name applies to the genus *Alouatta*, which includes about fifteen species.
