On this , we meet the Howler Monkey (Alouatta seniculus)

Often heard long before they are seen, the Howler Monkey is famous for its powerful, haunting roar that can carry up to 5km through Guyana's rainforest. One of the largest monkeys in South America, they spend most of their lives high in the canopy, feasting on leaves, fruits, and flowers.

Keep your ears open on your next visit to Guyana's Protected Areas; they'll let you know they're home. ๐ŸŒฟ
