Highest Quality Natural Rubber. Black howler monkeys are one of the few primate species with different coat colors in males and females-a trait called sexual dimorphism, which is a broad term that includes differences in size, behavior, and other characteristics between males and females of the same species. Males have a black coat, while females are blonde. Black howler monkeys have a prehensile tail without hair on the bottom side, which they use for grasping during locomotion. The upper molars have sharp, shearing crests that are used in grinding leaves. They move slowly using a quadrupedal mode of locomotion and they have five-toed, grasping feet. The large hyoid bone (Adam's apple) that allows for their loud call restricts arm movement, so howler monkeys rely heavily on their tail for locomotion. Black howler monkeys are the largest monkeys in Latin American rainforests. Males are much larger than females. Males measure 24 to 26 inches (60 to 65 centimeters) long with a 24 to 26 inch tail (60 to 65 centimeters). Females' bodies are slightly shorter at about 20 inches (50 centimeters). Females typically weigh around 16 pounds (7.3 kilograms), while males weigh around 32.5 pounds (14.8 kilograms). Black howler monkeys can be found in southern Brazil, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, and northern Argentina. They live in primary, arid deciduous, and broadleaf forests. The low and guttural sound of howler monkeys is one of the loudest calls produced by any land animal. Under certain conditions, a howler's call can be heard from about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) away. The male's call is typically louder than the female's and is produced by drawing air through a cavity in an enlarged hyoid bone in the throat, which is larger in males than in females.
