While I was waiting on the arrival of Walter for my return trip the boat driver took me across the river to a tree with several of these Mantled Howler Monkeys (my gallery link). They are almost constantly looking for something to eat and here it is leaves. See more shots in the above linked gallery.
¡Pura Vida!
Called a “Congo” by Costa Ricans, the Mantled Howler Monkey is the largest and loudest of the four species of monkeys in Costa Rica and the only one I got photos of this trip, from alongside Rio Tres Amigos on float trip last Wednesday near Maquenque Ecolodge. I heard them at the lodge but never was close enough for photos and the same for the Spider Monkeys. I’ve been photographing Howler Monkeys since my first weeks in Costa Rica and have an okay GALLERY: Mantled Howler Monkey of Costa Rica.
¡Pura Vida!
