Howler Monkeys in The Jungle
by

Costa Rica

We just returned from a cruise. One of the stops was Costa Rica. We took a small boat sight seeing trip into the swamp/jungle. We saw this big tree and saw one female monkey with a baby. The guide started hooting and the next thing we knew a number of male Howler Monkeys appeared and starting howling at us.

What a lucky opportunity! I lived in Costa Rica for two years and although we often heard Howlers I never saw one.
