The Brown howler (Alouatta guariba), also known as Brown howling monkey, is a species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, that lives in forests in south-eastern Brazil and far north-eastern Argentina (Misiones).[1][2] It lives in groups of 2 to 11 individuals.[3] Despite the name "brown howler", it is notably variable in colour, with some individuals appearing largely reddish-orange or black.[4]
There are two subspecies:[1]
- Northern brown howler (Alouatta guariba guariba), listed as critically endangered.
- Southern brown howler (Alouatta guariba clamitans).
