It is known as the Black Howler, but only the males are black. It ranges from eastern Bolivia to northern Argentina. This one is at the Mendoza Zoo in the latter. Locally known as Mono Caraya. In context at www.dixpix.ca/Amazon/fauna/primates/index.html
Also know as: Brown howling monkey, Bugio, guariba, macaco-uivador.Ele famoso por seu grito, que pode ser ouvido em toda a mata, e pela presena de plos mais compridos nos lados da face formando uma espcie de barba.As their name suggests, vocal communication forms an important part of their social behavior. They have an enlarged basihyal or hyoid bone which helps them make their loud vocalizations. Group males generally call at dawn and dusk as well as interspersed times throughout the day. The main vocals consist of loud, deep guttural growls or "howls." Howler monkeys are widely considered to be the loudest land animal.
