Howler Monkeys

 * Howler monkeys are the largest monkeys in the world. They live on a diet of nuts, fruit, buds, blossoms **

, and leaves. They can produce and ear piercing screech that can be heared for miles. This is because they have a special bone that helps them scream as loud as they can. Howler monkeys jump from tree to tree and live in the canopy because that is where most of the fruits and nuts grow. Howler monkeys are usualy found in Paruguay, Northern bolivia, and Northern Argentina. Howler monkeys weigh a lot! and I mean A LOT. Male Howlers usually weigh about 22-30 lb! Females weigh about 8-10 or 11 lb. They have sharp claws that help them grasp on to tree bark. This is how they have adapted. Howler Monkeys are amazing to watch and are awesome animals!
