Howler monkeys

I have not shown a photo of monkeys in a while, so here is a photo of howler monkeys on a roof across the street from our Langosta condo.  One of the benefits of the density controls that I discussed in my post yesterday is that keeping trees in areas such as Tamarindo and Langosta will continue to provide habitat for monkeys, birds and other wildlife, right in town.

We are showing more photos from Julie's recent raft trip through the Grand Canyon on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site it. It is a unique place.

Despite their endearing looks, they can be such rascals! It's a good clear photo of them!

What an interesting sight that must be. I would be fine with them as long as they don't try to get inside the house!

Howler monkeys are a hoot!

Re your comment on Ocala: a similar thing happened a number of years ago in Boca Raton, but I think it was finally finished, people moved into the residences and a variety of stores/restaurants flourished.

Right across the street...how fun!

It seems so strange to me to have monkeys in the trees instead of squirrels. I bet they are always a source of entertainment.

I know what you mean Dave, too often 'progress' doesn't take in to consideration the habitat of the animal life in the area, happy to see that's not the case here..I'm sure they're funny fellas it's just the name that sounds a little 'Stephen King'..

If I looked up and saw these monkeys on my roof, I would surely be freaked out!

Ah yes, the sound of howler monkeys in the morning instead of a rooster. I remember that well.
