Real cute little guy – Costa Rica
Costa Rica 3 185, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
A mother and baby howler monkey in what we came to refer to as “the monkey tree”.
One really hot day when Maggie only wanted to relax on the beach I ventured further inland up a dusty road. I reached this tree that must have had about 30 howlers in it. I think it may have been a guanacaste tree that has been enveloped by a strangler fig.
The monkeys just watched me until I got really close and then the males started barking. It was insane. Every monkey within several kilometers took up the cry, you could hear them everywhere. Its quite intimidating.
ew cute haha
