Answer 1

• Howler monkeys are one of the loudest animals on earth, As their name suggests, vocal animal communication forms an important part of their social behavior. They live up in the rainforest canopy, where it's very densely covered with trees and plant life, which makes it difficult to see. So, they use their loud voice to call out to for help of other howler monkeys and to make sure other animals know where their territory is. They need to communicate with other howler monkeys because they all live in large communities – howler monkeys don’t move around very quickly, so they need friends to help protect each other from predators. Their tails are about the same size in length as their bodies which makes easy for them to wrap their tails around tree branches to keep from falling down.
