Howler Monkey from Costa Rica



I spent two years in the jungles of Panama and never saw a monkey in the wild. On our second day in Costa Rica, we were awakened to a whole troop of monkeys. The dominant male was howling loudly. Before I saw them in the trees, I couldn't figure out what kind of animal or machine was making the sound. They ate some bright yellow flowers and after an hour or so, moved on to other trees. It was early in the day and they are really black monkeys, so getting a photo was quite difficult.
