Mantled Howler Moneys
The mantled howler or golden-mantled howling monkey is a species of howler monkey from Central and South America and most often seen and heard in the wild in Central America. It called "mantled" name because of the long guard hairs on its sides.
Scientific name : Alouatta Palliatia
Food : They eat leaves from the top of the rain forest canopy. Also fruits, nuts,buds and flowers. They used to steel eggs from birds nests and can pick fruit with their tails.
Activity : The significance of their calls has long been studied by humans. In ancient Mayan times the Howlers were worshiped for their beauty and soulfulness.
Territory : Central and South America. They stay in groups of 10 to 20 members in home areas of 25 to 150 acres. Groups travel up to about a half a mile each day.
Interesting facts : The loud call of this monkey prompts responses from other monkeys. Two Howlers may vocalize at length or at intervals and the calls can be a way for a male to assess the strength of the another male or to give support to a female and perhaps her infants.
