One of our daily visitors: The Congo or howler monkey.
Howler monkeys are primates that we can find in Central America and South America.
The monkey’s howl can be heard up to 3 miles on occasion. They are able to create such an incredibly audible sound due to an enlarged hyoid bone that is located in their throat. The hyoid bone basically acts like a huge resonator.
We invite you to learn about initiatives like @somoscongos that have been working for years for the conservation of these beautiful primates.
This male belongs to a gang that lives freely in the vicinity of @proyectoasis
Remember: wild animals are not pets.
