How many howler monkeys do you know?

...in a beautiful twist of expectations, scientists have now found that the louder the monkey’s calls, the smaller the monkey’s balls.

Heard about this on the Beeb this morning. The intro said something like "You've heard the trope about the men who drive big sports cars?"

I have actually had close encounters with both howler and spider monkeys and a few monks too but I should not speak of those. Some things are best left unsaid.

I don't know enough monkeys. I would like to know more. Especially really cute, cuddly ones!

You do NOT want Howler Monkeys unless:

1. You live several miles from your nearest neighbours, and

2. Your whole family is profoundly deaf.

Some Howler Monkeys scream at dawn and dusk; some scream for 15 hours a day.

Okay, then I'll take the non-howling, kitty-snuggling kind.

The howlers do get annoying. The spider monkeys are... interesting. I think I wrote about both in my Dexterous Dexter Goes South mini-series.

Synopsis: Howlers raise holy hell around Maya Palenque. The pyramids sound as if surrounded by monsters. Kewl. Their late and early cries penetrate nearby lodgings. Not so kewl, not if one wants to sleep.

Spiders hung out in a nature preserve next to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Walk a trail through the preserve (a former coffee plantation in the bottom of a volcanic caldera) over Indiana Jones-type bridges and through rainforest. Stop at a deserted snack-bar. Look across the narrow creek. Yes, spider monkeys are in the trees, waiting, watching. Here is a big guy hanging by his tail, the end looped around a branch overhead. He sits upright with arms and legs crossed, relaxed, swinging back and forth, viewing humans.

As for the monks -- many are mummified in Guanajuato. Check them out, hey?

 

[parodyluvr75]

none.

I'll introduce you to some.

A friend of mine got "howler monkey" drunk once, does that count?

 

[parodyluvr75]

I had a friend like that, she was always getting me into fights. I miss that crazy chick.
