In June 2013 myself and two volunteers stumbled across something amazing: two adult female Black and Gold Howler monkeys and a small juvenile. It had been years since this species had been seen on the property. I reacted pretty well, basically collapsing again a tree and starting to cry! As there were no males we never got to hear their distinctive roaring every morning and they very quickly disappeared again. That is...until today!
While sitting on a log waiting for the capuchins to come back we were startled by a loud crash directly behind us and a noise that could only be one thing! Three adult females and a juvenile howler monkey hanging out at the top of the flooded forest! Here are some photos of our furry friends.
