Howler Monkey

The Howler monkey is known for its discordant cry that can be heard over three miles away.

The males have large throats and vocal chambers that help increase their ruckus volume.

In a group, the howler shrieks send the message that the territory is being occupied.

This primate has a strong gripping tail, which it uses to hang from branches.

It takes full advantage of the jungle lianas as it moves about the trees.

Howler monkeys are rarely on the ground.

Instead, they stay away from predators and enjoy munching on their leafy diet.

The howler monkey teaches you to rise above your challenges and make the best of situations,

no matter how complex. Take the high road when you are tempted to lash out.

Restrain yourself no matter how heated the circumstances and find a peaceful solution. (S. Finelli)
