We have seen so much wildlife here. The most interesting have been the Howler Monkeys. They are very loud! This morning we were awakened at about 5:00 by some of the vocalizing. 
According to the New World Encyclopedia, their loud roars can be heard by humans, even three miles away through dense jungle and they have been called the loudest animals in the New World (Dunn2008)
Howler Monkeys are folivores. They eat mainly top canopy leaves, together with fruit, buds, stems, flowers and nuts.
They travel around the jungle area above our condo. Sometimes we've seen them right in back of our house! We've really enjoyed monkey-watching :)
