This is the Purús red howler (Alouatta puruensis)! This is the Purús red howler (Alouatta puruensis)! Red howler monkeys are morning primates and usually wake up at first light. They typically start with their dawn chorus calls, letting nearby troops know that they have survived the night and that their area is still actively being defended.

They use their latrines in the morning, typically at the base of a tree near their sleeping site. After this, they spend time looking for food and eating leaves. They travel for about 15% of their day looking for a tree with enough nutritious leaves where they can hang out and consume food for a while. They eat as much as possible because most of their digestion (in their intestine’s fermentation chamber) happens when resting, which takes about 18% of their active time.

They can have two or three bouts of activity where they travel in a day. During the midday resting period, they typically use another latrine site. Learn more: https://neprimateconservancy.org/puru...
