Are howler monkeys friendly?

Howler monkeys are friendly with each other, hanging out in big social groups, usually with 10-18 monkeys. They are herbivores, meaning they eat plants, both leaves and fruits. Male howler monkeys are the loudest animals in the rainforest.

How loud is a howler monkey?

Known for their haunting, lion-like roars, black howler monkeys are considered the loudest land animal in the world. Their calls can be heard up to three miles away and can reach 140 decibels. (A jet engine at takeoff is about 150 decibels—loud enough to rupture eardrums.)
