the red - handed howler monkey ( alouatta belzebul ) is a species of howler monkey endemic to brazil . this monkey is usually entirely black , however , in some regions females can have red feet and tail tip .
bolivian titi monkeys inhabit riparian zones and gallery forests near swampy grasslands and other open areas .
because they are frugivores , bolivian titi monkeys may play a small role in seed dispersal .
red howler monkeys feed mostly on leaves , although they also enjoy eating nuts , seeds , fruit and flowers .
the hindgut contains bacteria that digest leaves and makes up a third of the venezuelan red howler’s total body volume .
while the coiba island howler is usually considered a separate species , some sources suggest that it ' s a subspecies of the mantled howler . similarly , some sources consider the ursine howler a subspecies of the venezuelan red howler and tag its scientific name as
the venezuelan red howler monkey ( alouatta seniculus ) is a south american species of howler monkey found in colombia , venezuela , trinidad , guyana , french guiana , brazil , ecuador , peru and bolivia . the venezuelan red howler monkey lives in groups of 3 to 9 individuals .
all these factors together have resulted in a significant decline in their population . the maranhão red - handed howler and guatemalan black howler have now been enlisted as endangered species by the iucn , while the mexican howler (

are primarily folivorous . leaves are low in nutrients and sugars in comparison with other food choices , and red howler monkeys have two large sections in their hindgut which contain the bacteria needed to digest the cellulose in leaves . this change in anatomy results in a large gut that occupies one - third of their total body volume . in addition , their extremely deep lower jaw bones aid red howlers in chewing .
howler monkeys are also known to occasionally raid birds ' nests and chicken coops and consume the eggs .

this species is threatened by habitat loss due to agricultural development for soy and cattle ranching in the brazilian cerrado , soy in the bolivian chiquitano , and small - scale farms and cattle ranching in argentina . some subsistence hunting occurs across its range .
bolivian titi monkeys may live in family groups of 2 to 7 members . although males exhibit some degree of leadership in these groups , no dominance hierarchy has been observed between sexes or among individuals . adult titi pairs remain close to each other throughout life and coordinate their activities so as to not spend a great amount of time physically apart . members of a mated pair often entwine their tails during sleep . bolivian titis generally sleep close to their group members in the vines of small branches .
, along with other howler species , are hunted for food and are subject to commercial export ( nowak , 1991 ) .
they have lifespans of 15 to 20 years . howler species are dimorphic and can also be dichromatic ( i . e .
in captivity , bolivian titi monkeys breed throughout the year . in the wild , a breeding season is predicted , perhaps in the spring preceding the rainy season in bolivia . in captivity , female titi monkeys give birth approximately one year after finding a mate . after a gestation period of about 18 weeks , females give birth to a single offspring , though twins are uncommon . although female bolivian titi monkeys reach sexual maturity at 2 years of age , the mean age of first birth is 4 years .
bolivian titi monkeys are primarily frugivorous , and it is estimated that their diet consists of over 70 % fruit . they also eat leaves , seeds , and insects . much of the day is spent resting in order to digest their mostly herbivorous diet .
the chest and belly of bolivian titi monkeys is completely orange to brown - orange while the dorsal side and extremities range from grey to orange agouti in color . the tail may include black or grey coloring , and they have white tufts on their ears .
red howler monkeys range throughout northwestern south america , including bolivia , brazil , colombia , ecuador , french guiana , guyana , peru , suriname , and venezuela , as well as the island of trinidad . they inhabit the canopy of tropical rainforests and tropical deciduous forests , and they especially like teak and cecropia trees .
the dental formula of bolivian titis , as with other titi monkeys , is 2 . 1 . 3 . 3 / 2 . 1 . 3 . 3 . compared to other platyrrhines , the canines of titi monkeys are relatively short and their molars are fairly simple .
male bolivian titi monkeys play a dominant role in the care of their young . although females nurse their offspring , males are the principal carriers and protectors of their young . during the first week of life , mother bolivian titi monkeys carry their infants only 20 % of the time , and after the first month , maternal contact is scarce . infants experience more stress and elevated heart rates when separated from their father than from their mother , with few exceptions . bollivian titi monkeys experience a stronger bond with their mate than with their offspring .
female atelins typically mate with multiple partners , although the degree to which single males monopolize access to females and exclude other males from mating varies greatly . in multimale troops of red howler monkeys , the alpha male can account for 100 % of all fertilizations , resulting in the genetic equivalent of a single - male troop . in woolly monkeys
the red howler monkey consumes new leaves and fruit as the main part of the diet . flowers and insects are also sometimes eaten . this species , along with other members of its genus , have large salivary glands that help to break down the tannins in the leaves before they reach the gut ( milton , 1987 ) . this is a

like most new world monkeys , bolivian titis are diurnal , with daily activity lasting an average of 11 . 5 hours . titis wake early in the morning around sunrise and remain active until sunset . they generally divide the day into two main feeding times with a rest during midday .
polygamous . alpha males have higher mating success than other males , and in multimale troops , the alpha male may account for 100 % of the fertilizations . births occur throughout the year , and birth intervals average just under two years . male red howler monkeys that takeover a troop have been reported to kill infants sired by the males they have ousted .

red howler monkeys have a muscular , prehensile tail that enables them to grasp branches or even swing from them . as the name suggests , they have reddish , silky fur all over except for their face and the underside of their tail . their arms and legs are long , and their hands are extremely strong and dexterous . males are larger than females .
the mantled howler monkey , ( alouatta palliata ) , or sometimes the golden - mantled howling monkey , is a species of howler monkey , a type of new world monkey , from central and south america . mantled howlers take their ‘mantled’ name from the long guard hairs on their sides .

has no special conservation status . however , red howlers have become rarer in some areas , most likely due to the destruction of their habitat . fortunately , they are still adundant in brazil ( nowak , 1991 ) .
the black howler monkey ( alouatta caraya ) is a species of howler monkey , from argentina , bolivia , brazil and paraguay . it is the southernmost member of the alouatta genus . the black howler monkey lives in groups of 3 to 19 individuals ( usually 7 to 9 ) . there are usually 1 – 3 males for every 7 – 9 females in a group . when mating , males and females within a single group pair off .

howler monkeys are by far the most folivorous , but the proportion of leaves in their diets varies greatly by habitat . sympatric species exhibit considerable overlap in diet , feeding on many of the same fruit , leaf , and flower species , sometimes from the same trees or lianas . there are interesting parallels in the proportion of fruits versus leaves in the annual diets of sympatric spider monkeys and howler monkeys , on the one hand , and those of sympatric muriquis and howler monkeys , on the other hand . in each pair , the howler monkeys are substantially more folivorous than either spider monkeys or muriquis .
named for their vocalizations , the black howler monkey may be heard most often around sunrise . this ‘dawn chorus’ sounds much more like roaring than howling and it announces the howlers position as a means to avoiding conflict with other groups . the black howler monkeys call can be heard up to 5 kilometres away .
in black howler monkeys , only the male members are actually black in color . the females , on the other hand , are pale yellowish - brown .

but not all male howler monkeys have been equally endowed . new research on howler species has revealed an evolutionary
trade - off
between investments in the size of the male hyoid - the bulbous , hollow throat bone that allows the howlers ' guttural roar to resonate - and in the size of reproductive organs , namely the testes .
in what can be dubbed as an unusual behavior for a non - primate species , the mantled howler uses sticks as tools to drive away the intruders from its territory .
the bigger a male howler ' s vocal organ , and the deeper and more imposing roar they possess , the smaller their testes and the less sperm they can produce .
howler monkeys are arboreal , although they have been observed on the ground for brief periods in order to eat , play , drink , and travel ( strier 2004 ) .
bolivian titis are small , new world monkeys , averaging about 320 mm in length . males are only slightly larger than females , weighing on average 991 g while females weigh 909 g . titis have long tails that are not prehensile . they have very little prognathism and long skulls . titi monkeys have long hind limbs with an intermembral index of 75 .

howler monkeys generally move quadrupedally on the tops of branches , usually grasping a branch with at least two hands or one hand and the tail at all times . their strong prehensile tails are able to support their entire body weight . fully grown adult howler monkeys do not often rely on their tails for full body support , whereas juveniles do so more frequently .
howler monkeys comprise the genus alouatta and belong to the atelidae family with the spider monkeys ( genus ateles ) , woolly monkeys ( lagothrix ) , yellow - tailed woolly monkeys ( oreonax ) , and the woolly spider monkeys ( brachyteles ) . howler monkeys are placed alone in the alouattinae subfamily , while the other members of the family belong to the atelinae subfamily .
most howler species live in groups of six to 15 animals , with one to three adult males and multiple females . mantled howler monkeys are an exception , commonly living in groups of 15 to 20 individuals with more than three adult males . unlike most new world monkeys , in which one sex remains in natal groups , juveniles of both sexes emigrate from their natal groups ,
red howlers have an amusing reaction to rainy days during the tropical wet season . in response to heavy rains , they howl , either at the onset , or often at the sound of approaching rain , and sit hunched over until the rain ends ( clutton - brock , 1977 ) !
bolivian titi monkeys are arboreal and quadrupedal , primarily traveling through the lower levels of the forest . they are rarely seen on the ground . locomotion generally consists of short leaps , for which their long hind limbs are well - adapted , and they also walk and climb . because their tails are not prehensile , the tail does not come into contact with the surface on which they are walking .

leaves comprise over 60 % of mantled howler monkey diets . they exhibit preferences for young leaves over mature leaves , and eat fruits and flowers whenever they can . consistent with a heavy dietary reliance on leaves , which are low in energy , mantled howler monkeys spend nearly two - thirds of their days resting , and day ranges are rarely longer than 0 . 6 mi ( 1 km ) .
appears to breed throughout the year . however , in two habitats in venezuela , the birth frequency is reduced during the early wet season , may through july . the estrous cycle ranges from 16 - 20 days , with the female being receptive for 2 - 4 days . red howler females give birth for the first time around 5 years of age , while males usually do not father an offspring until approximately 7 years . therefore , a female reaches sexual maturity a couple of years before a male .
the howler monkeys are the only folivores ( herbivore specialized in eating leaves ) among the new world monkeys . other than leaves , they also feed on fruits , flowers , and even buds at times .

howler monkeys are about the size of a small dog , weighing around seven kilos , yet they are among the loudest terrestrial animals on the planet , and can roar at a similar acoustic frequency to tigers .
howler monkeys have an enlarged hyoid bone , contributing to the long distance calls , and have an elongated gut that is associated with the slow digestion of the plant matter ( strier 2004 ) . like other members of the family , howler monkeys have 36 teeth , following the dental formula of i 2 / 2 , c 1 / 1 , p 3 / 3 , m 3 / 3 ( strier 2004 ) .
) . these findings are consistent with the hypothesis that large hyoids may have evolved to enable lower δf than expected for body size , thereby increasing the acoustic impression of body size conveyed by howler monkey roars .
while seldom aggressive , howler monkeys do not take well to captivity and are of surly disposition . however , the black howler ( alouatta caraya ) is a relatively common pet monkey in contemporary argentina due to its gentle nature , in comparison to the capuchin monkey ' s aggressive tendencies , in spite of its lesser intelligence , as well as the liabilities meant by the size of its droppings and the males ' loud vocalisations .
, although some howler monkey species are found in drier forests , or wooded savannah . they mainly eat fruit and leaves , although the smaller species , in particular , may also eat some small insects . they have the
unlike other new world monkeys , both male and female howler monkeys have trichromatic color vision ; that is , they are capable of seeing three colors and all combinations of those colors ( jacobs et al . 1996 ) .
the hyoid of alouatta is pneumatized , one of the few cases of postcranial pneumaticity outside the saurischia . the volume of the hyoid of male howler monkeys is negatively correlated with the dimensions of their testes . [ 4 ]
all species live in multimale , multifemale groups , although one - male , multifemale groups of alouatta are also common . in the three well - known atelin genera ( ateles , brachyteles , and lagothrix ) , males are philopatric , while females disperse from their natal groups to join other groups of males . in alouatta , both males and females disperse from their natal groups , usually to establish new troops . female red howler monkeys ( alouatta seniculus ) may be retained in their natal troops , while males sometimes disperse in pairs to establish new troops together .
are small to moderate in size , ranging from 34 to 72 cm in head - body length , with the howler monkeys being the largest members of the group , and the spider monkeys being the smallest . they have long
the tail of the howler monkeys , which might be twice the length of their body at times , is sturdy enough to bear their weight , and therefore , they use it to hang upside down on the trees while feeding .
) belong to the atelidae family of new world monkeys , which also has spider monkeys , woolly monkeys , and woolly spider monkeys to its credit . as of today , as many as 15 species of howler monkeys have been identified .
the howler species is not just the loudest , but also one of the laziest members of the animal kingdom ; second only to the sloth . on an average , these arboreal monkeys spend around 80 percent of their time resting on treetops .
the mantled howler monkey is protected from international trade under appendix i of the convention on international trade in endangered species ( cites ) . they are most at risk from rainforest fragmentation which has caused forced relocation of groups to less habitable regions .
in biology , trade - offs are said to exist when one trait cannot increase without a decrease in another . however , dunn says that it ' s not yet clear exactly how the evolutionary trade - off in male howler monkeys works .
the vocal folds of a howler monkey are three times longer than a human ' s , yet they are ten times smaller than us , with a hyoid bone uniquely adapted to resonate sound and exaggerate their size ,

howler monkeys occur sympatrically with one , and sometimes two of the other genera . alouatta is the only genus in this family that occurs sympatrically with brachyteles . in some regions in the amazon , alouatta , ateles , and lagothrix are found together .
are at first quite helpless and are carried around at the mother ' s belly . young red howlers begin using their prehensile tails before they are one month old . an infant uses its tail to secure itself to its mother , for in this stage of its life the mother pays little or no attention to her offspring , and fails to give the baby any assistance !
while some members of the atelidae family are popular as pets , howler monkeys , while seldom aggressive , do not take well to captivity and are of surly disposition . however , the black howler ( alouatta caraya ) is a relatively common pet monkey in contemporary argentina due to its gentle nature , in comparison to the capuchin monkey ' s aggressive tendencies ( in spite of its lesser intelligence as well as the liabilities in the way of the size of its droppings and the males ' loud vocalization ) .
the mantled howlers appearance is similar to other howler monkeys except for colouration . the mantled howler monkey is primarily black except for a fringe of gold to buff hair on each side that gives it its common name . when the males reach maturity , the scrotum turns white . females are 18 to 25 inches in body length and males are 20 to 27 inches . its prehensile tail is 21 to 26 inches long . adult females generally weigh between 6 and 17 pounds while males typically weigh 10 to 22 pounds .
the results of our acoustic analyses show that howler monkeys produce roars at a similar frequency as tigers , which is far lower than we would have predicted from their body size , yet exactly what would be predicted from measuring their giant vocal folds .
there is no evidence of paternal or allo - parental care among the atelins . however , male howler monkeys will sometimes carry infants or position themselves between infants and extra - troop males , which may threaten infants in their efforts to take over female troops .
like many new world monkeys and all atelids ( family atelidae ) , howler monkeys have prehensile tails . the first 2 fingers of each hand are set apart and are opposable to the other three . members of alouatta have completely black faces ( strier 2004 ) .
howler monkeys can grow to attain a length of 22 - 36 inches , excluding the tail which can be as long as the body , and may weigh anywhere between 10 - 20 lbs . these monkeys live in groups of 10 - 20 individuals which are known as ' troops ' . male howlers lead the troops and resort to howling to defend their territory against other groups . the practice of howling is usually at its peak at dawn and dusk . howler monkeys have an average lifespan of 15 - 20 years in the wild .
threats to howler monkeys include being hunted for food and export . as with many other species in south america , although they are not officially threatened with extinction , their habitat is being steadily destroyed and there are perhaps only 100 , 000 surviving in the wild now .
mantled howler monkeys live in cohesive , multimale , multifemale groups with 4–21 individuals . both males and females establish dominance hierarchies . glander found that young females become top ranking when they immigrate into troops , but achieve their highest reproductive success as older , mid - ranking troop

researchers found that the trade - off corresponds to the mating systems of different howler species . males with large hyoids and deeper roars but more diminutive testes live in small social groups with often only one male dominating a number of females - a
harem
social model .

black howler monkeys commonly sleep or rest up to 80 % of the day , making it one of the least active monkeys in the new world . their habitat is forest where they eat mostly leaves , however , it will also eat the occasional fruit , such as figs .
howler monkeys have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years . they are native to south and central american forests , and even extend into mexico in north america . they have the widest distribution in the atelidae family , ranging from southern mexico to northern argentina ( strier 2004 ) .
according to the guinness book of world records , the howler monkey is the loudest land animal in the world with a howl that can be heard as far as 3 miles away . the species is able to make the loud noise because of its large throat and specialized vocal cords .

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 . according to
while many monkey species are not in danger , there are some that are very close to extinction . for example there are only 150 tonkin snub - nosed monkeys in existence . another monkey on the list is the tana river red colobus . there are fewer than 1 , 000 of these monkeys left in the world . both are listed on the 25 most endangered primates list published by the international union for conservation of nature species survival commission primate specialist group .
, and live in social groups with anything up to twenty five adults , depending on species . where groups are relatively small , as is common amongst the howler monkeys , a single male monopolises a ' harem ' of females , but larger groups will contain several males , with a clear hierarchy of dominance .
are slightly sexually dimorphic . females have a body length of 46 - 57 centimeters ; males , which are larger , have a body length of 49 - 72 cm . both sexes have a long , prehensile tail of approximately 49 - 75 cm . the coat color of males and females is a deep reddish - brown , although the shade varies slightly with age . red howlers have a large neck with tremendous lower jaw and hyroid bones , giving them a forbidding expression .

) ; in the right panel all primates are shown in blue and all carnivores in red . dashed lines depict ordinary least squares ( ols ) regressions ; dotted lines depict bisector regressions ( equations at lower left ) . primate bisector regressions were based on phylogenetic brownian motion models ; carnivore bisector regressions were based on non - phylogenetic ( np ) models ; combined bisector regressions were based on phylogenetic brownian motion + pagel’s lambda ( bm + λ ) models . statistics for regression analyses are given in
howler monkeys ( genus alouatta ) are stoutly built and range in size from 56 to 92 centimeters ( 22 to 36 inches ) , excluding their tail , which can be equally as long , ranging from 51 to 89 centimeters ( 20 to 35 inches ) ( strier 2004 ) . females are much smaller than males ( strier 2004 ) .
, and he is responsible for leading them to new food sites and defending them . the females of the group are in charge of the offspring . venezuelan red howlers are most active in the morning , when the group is on the move to find another feeding spot . these howlers are famous for their “dawn chorus” . these roaring and howling calls are performed mostly by the males in the group . the roars can be heard up to 5 km away in the forest , and make their presence known in the area .

the mating behavior of red howlers is another interesting aspect of their social interactions . males and females often form consortships , an unusually close spatial relationship , before any sexual exchange has begun . once these associations are established , sexual solicitations begin . although seductive behaviors can be performed by both sexes , the female most often takes on the aggressive role . when attempting to attract a male , the female approaches him and moves her tonque rhythmically . the male may respond the same way , but if he does not , the female may simply try to entice another male .
this vocal system means that howlers give the acoustic impression of animals with much larger bodies , and can indeed roar louder and deeper than creatures ten times their size . the unnerving sound of a howler chorus ringing out across forests of central and south america has long fascinated humans - from ancient mayans to modern primatologists - and can carry as far as five kilometres through dense rainforest .
in their phylogenetic analysis using the cytochrome b gene , nascimento et al . ( 2005 ) showed that populations of alouatta caraya from santa cruz , bolivia ( chaco ) are differentiated from those in various localities in the state of mato grosso and ( one specimen ) goiás further north . this indicates the possibility of two taxa of the black howler monkey , rather than just one .
exhibit many interesting behaviors . they are most famous for their
dawn chorus
, a deafening roar that can be heard up to 5 kilometers away ! these resonating howls , performed primarily by the males of a group , are answered by all other howler troops within ear shot . this way , one troop can constantly inform another of its precise location , thus avoiding an energetically costly squabble over resources .
howler monkeys , by far , are the most folivorous ( leaf - eating ) of the atelidae ( strier 2004 ) . howlers eat mainly top canopy leaves , together with fruit , buds , flowers , and nuts . they need to be careful not to eat too much of certain species of mature leaf in one sitting , as some of the leaves they eat contain toxins that can poison the monkey ( glander 1977 ) .
the slow - moving howler monkeys move quadrapedally and do not brachiate , usually holding on to a branch with at least two hands or one hand and the tail at all times . their prehensile tails are strong enough to support the monkey ' s entire body weight , although they seldom do so . they very seldom leave the trees . they rest about 80 percent of the time and are considered the least active of all monkeys .
even though these monkeys make a lot of noise , it is very difficult to catch a glimpse of them in the wild as they seldom leave the trees , and prefer to spend most of their day idle . on an average , howler monkeys only travel for a distance of 400 meters a day . if you are lucky enough , you might come across a few howlers on the dense tree tops of the rainforests ; the chances are pretty rare though .
howler monkey is the common name for the tropical , arboreal new world monkeys comprising the genus alouatta of the primate family atelidae , characterized by prehensile , thickly furred tails , completely black faces , a stout build , relatively large size , and loud howling calls . their loud roars can be heard by humans even three miles away through the dense jungle , and they have been called the loudest animals in the new world ( dunn 2008 ) . aloutata is the only genus in the subfamily alouattinae .
black howler monkeys generally prefer walking and climbing to running or leaping . the prehensile tail is very strong and acts as a fifth limb , allowing the monkeys greater versatility when climbing and allowing them greater safety in the occasional fall from a high branch . because their limb structure makes terrestrial movement awkward , they spend most of their time in the trees and only come down for water during dry spells . otherwise the monkeys drink by wetting their hand on a moist leaf and then licking the water of their hand .
we compiled data on group size and composition from the literature for each of the howler monkey species studied ( see the supplemental experimental procedures and table s3 ) . given that local environmental factors , such as variations in climate and vegetation , may affect group size and composition within species , we calculated mean values per study site and then took the average across study sites . we also ran analyses using the mean values for all groups ( rather than sites ) , and the results did not change ( table s4 ) .
all genera possess prehensile tails , which permit them to feed for long periods of time in suspended postures . secured by their tails , they can access foods close to the ground or from plants and branches that are too small or flimsy to support their body weights . their tails also free up their hands , which they can use to sort foods and bring them to their mouths . the atelins also travel by suspensory locomotion , using their arms and tails to swing through the canopy . suspensory locomotion permits them to travel long distances rapidly , and may contribute to their ability to monitor dispersed patches of preferred fruits . howler monkeys are quadrupedal , traveling much shorter distances more slowly than the atelins .
howler monkeys are new world monkeys . new world monkeys are one of three major informal groups of the biological order primates , the other two groups being prosimians in addition to monkeys and apes of the old world . together , the new world monkeys and the old world monkeys and apes are considered to be
higher primates ,
or simians ( infraorder similformes ) , while the prosimians ( such as lemurs ) are considered to be the
lower primates .
the term monkey , thus , refers to any simian that is not an ape or any primate that is neither an ape or a prosimian . in reality , monkeys are not a single coherent group and , therefore , do not have any particular traits that they all share . the new world monkeys are found in mexico , central america , and south america , and the old world monkeys are located in africa , central to southern asia , japan , and india .
size for this species is between 3 to 16 individuals ( crockett and eisenberg , 1987 ) . both males and females
mode of locomotion ( fleagle , 1988 ) . this species uses its tail to suspend from branches while feeding ( fleagle , 1988 ) .
this call is amplified by the hyoid bone which acts as a resonator , and the calls travel for long distances ( kinzey , 1997 ) . the calls serve to communicate group location , distance , and composition , and the calls are directed at solitary individuals and / or other members of the group ( kinzey , 1997 ) . these calls are most often heard at dawn ( kinzey , 1997 ) .
