This howler monkey species is easily identifiable by its black ears and brown-grayish fur. Additionally, its name “Noisy Owl Monkey” is due to its unique vocalization that resembles the sound of an owl.
Unlike other howler monkeys, the Noisy Owl Monkey is a diurnal species, which means that it is active during the day and rests at night. Its diet consists mainly of leaves, fruits, and flowers.
Although the Noisy Owl Monkey is not currently endangered, its natural habitat is increasingly threatened by deforestation and human activity. As a result, it is important to take measures to protect and preserve this species and its natural environment.
