Travel Photo of the Day: Howler Monkey in Costa Rica
Posted by Steve on Aug 6, 2012 in Photography Travel Blog, Travel Blog Posts | 12 comments
These Howler Monkeys in Costa Rica make the coolest sounds when they talk. They do indeed howl!
We love monkeys and Costa Rica is a great place to go on a monkey safari! This shot is of the famous Howler monkey known for its loud howling voice. Their calls can be heard from miles away and are in fact used as a defense mechanism to scare of threats and predators in addition to talking to their own kind. If you imitate a Howler monkeys calls, they will talk right back to you! Join our travel club on the next Costa Rica safari adventure in 2013!
Great pic!
Great photo – what a lot of personality it has!
haha yes! You should hear them too!
Nice shot – I love his heart-shaped face
I’ve got a great photo of howler monkey balls too
haha really? Is it on your travel blog?
Now that’s a distinct face – great shot!
Thanks Samuel! Monkeys are so cool haha..
Ummm…. it looks like it could be low hanging fruit… perhaps?
Ha–well if you see low hanging fruit like that below a Howler monkey I dare you to pick it!
Great shot! I’m going to try howling back the next time I hear one roar in my travels.
haha do it! It’s like talking to monkeys, except not.
