We just learned about the Mantled Howler.
Another type of new world monkey is the Colombian Red Howler, also called the Venezuelan red howler or alouatta seniculus.
This type of monkey lives in South America, spending most of its life up in the trees.
They grow to be about 2 feet long, weigh about 20 pounds and have a long tail they use to climb around.
Just like their name says, they have red colored fur and they make really loud howling sounds that can be heard for miles.
