Congratulations Jonathan, this impressive Golden-mantled Howling Monkey s our Spotting of the Day!
"This impressive Golden-mantled Howling Monkey (Alouatta palliata) is our Spotting of the Day! Also known as Mantled Howler, it is one of the monkeys most often heard in the forests of Central America. The male's unmistakable booming call is amplified by an enlarged hollow bone located near its vocal chords. Jonathan Sequeira was able to capture close, level shots of a howler from a hanging bridge.
