Description: | The Red Howler is a large monkey that lives in the rainforests of South America. It's diet consists mainly of leaves and fruit. Red Howler monkeys live mainly in small groups. They take their name from their extremely loud call, which is amplified by a special throat pouch and a bone in the throat that acts as a resonator. The call is used to communicate with other groups of monkeys over long distances across the forest.
