Did You Know?

Can you imagine a roar so loud it carries for miles? Howler monkeys can be heard up to three miles away through the rainforest. They use their deep, booming calls to tell other monkeys where they are and to defend their territory. After one group of howlers call, another group answers. Howler monkeys usually do this in the morning and at the end of the day. A whole troop howling is like a deafening jungle choir!
