Whiteboard Challenges
1) When a baby black howler is born, it has golden brown fur so that it can camouflage itself in its mother’s fur. If the baby is female, it will keep its golden fur. However, If the baby is male, the fur will blacken when the monkey is around three years old. Howler monkeys live in family groups of between 15 and 20 members.
2) Howler monkeys live up to their name because of their amazing howling calls. Howler monkeys have beards and long, thick hair. They tend to howl at the beginning and end of the day. They have a special voice box and pouch inside their throat, which amplifies (makes louder) their calls.
