Field Notes

Description:

Despite the name "brown howler", it is notably variable in colour, with some individuals appearing largely reddish-orange or black. I think this is the southern brown subspecies.

Habitat:

Atlantic Coast Rainforest

Notes:

I spotted brown howler monkeys within my first 5 minutes of arriving in Caratinga Biological reserve. I liked the place instantly! They showed little fear of humans. They were far from being a pest but wouldn't flee at the sight of a human, which made watching them easy and enjoyable.
