Howler Monkeys in Belize.
by Eric on Jul.21, 2009, under Howler Monkeys
The locals call them baboons but that is not correct. I am not an animal expert, I deal in tropical seeds.
But the Howler Monkey is a fine addition to any jungle farm. There are two tribes on my side of the river, On the other side of the river there is a large tribe and every now and then different tribes move through the area.
They are awesome predictors of rain, If they say it will rain you better believe it will.
The sounds that these little Monkeys make is amazing and haunting at the same time.
From what I understand they spend all of their lives on the trees and rest about 80% of the day.
Here is another short video with them not howling…
This next one is about 10 minutes of howling sounds. The power went out at midnight and I went outside and recorded the monkeys. You can’t see the monkeys, just the moon and clouds. But you can definetly hear them.
