Howler Monkeys

[arriya]

On our way back to the city from the Monteverde region, our driver, an ecotour veteran, stopped suddenly on the road after hearing familiar noises.



A quick glance out the window revealed a bunch of howler monkeys
howling, tossing, and lounging about in a roadside tree.



We piled out of the van just in time for an afternoon snack



and hung out with the howlers for a few minutes
before the rest of the drive back to the hooting, honking city.

.

Have a good Earth Day, you howling, hooting earthlings.
