Howler Monkey



Thursday 31 January 2008

Our second day at the Esteros del Iberá. We went on a walk through the forest today, and saw a family of howler monkeys. This is the big male - I caught him looking at me.

Did you know that the Guiness Book of World Records lists howler monkeys as the loudest animals on earth? Their calls can be heard 2 to 3 kilometers away! I was very happy that this family had their mouths full of fruit, and weren't in a noisy mood!
