Howler monkeys are the loudest of all monkeys. They call to let others know where their territory is, alerting them to stay away. The calls sound like a loud whooping bark or roar. After one group of howlers call, another group answers. Howler monkeys usually do this in the morning and at the end of the day. These monkeys live in Central and South America. At home in the forest, they hardly ever leave the treetops. They don't move very far each day, feeding leisurely at the very top of the forest canopy. Howlers mainly eat leaves, as well as fruits, nuts, and flowers. Howler monkeys get almost all the water they need from the food they eat. One of the few times they can be spotted on the ground, however, is during very dry spells when they need to find extra water. Howler monkeys have prehensile tails, or tails that can grip. The monkeys use their tails as a fifth limb to grip branches. Mostly it uses its tail to help grip branches as it eats and moves around high in the trees. Each family group is generally made up of 15 to 20 howlers. The leader is usually an old male. The head and body of adult howler monkeys range from 22 to 36 inches (55.8 to 91.4 centimeters) long and their tail can add 23 to 36 inches (58.4 to 91.4 centimeters). Though most species are classified as least concern, the Yucatán Black is endangered.

I know I've done it already, but I thought about posting a different version of my Tarzan remake. This remake will have story elements from Edgar Rice Burroughs's original book, the animated 1999 movie, and the Disney Broadway production. After being shipwrecked on the African coast with his parents, who were later killed by a leopard, a human baby is found and rescued by a gorilla named Kala, who lost her own baby to the same leopard. Despite the objections of Kerchak, Kala's husband and the leader of the apes tribe (because he has a bad history with humans), Kala raises the child as her own and names her "Tarzan." As a child, he gets mocked by the kid gorillas calling him a "hairless wonder" and would sometimes get in trouble with Kerchak, but as a strong and handsome adult, he becomes the protector of the apes and (unofficially) the "king of the jungle." One day, a group of explorers from England, led by eccentric Professor Porter and skilled hunter Clayton, come to the jungle to study gorillas. Upon discovery, Tarzan grows fond of the professor's daughter, Jane, and eventually visits their camp and learn the ways of human civilization. But now, Tarzan is caught between two worlds and wonders where he truly belongs.
