Although there are lots of Howler Monkeys in the BEN, they are not so easily seen as in the dry forest down below, where the trees drop their leaves and expose large groups of howlers hanging out together. They spend most of their time in trees eating leaves and fruit. Females tend to eat the fruit in a tree first, while males like theirs more ripe, so everyone is happy. They begin their "howling" just before dawn (more of a roar than a howl) and they sound more ferocious than they are. Howlers move more slowly than the other monkeys in the rainforest (and---they can move quickly if they need to). They are quite laid back, much more relaxed than the other rainforest monkeys (white faced and spider). |
