["Red Howler Monkey: A Portrait of Alouatta seniculus by Frank Greenaway The captivating portrait of Alouatta seniculus, also known as the red howler monkey, showcases the intricate details and expressive nature of this New World primate. Native to the forests of Central and South America, this mammal is a member of the Atelidae family, which is part of the Platyrrhini suborder, and the Alouattinae subfamily. The red howler monkey is a placental mammal, belonging to the order Primates, and the infraorder Simiiformes. This primate is characterized by its haplorhine features, which include a simple nose and a non-retractile hard palate. With a body length of up to 51 cm (20 inches) and weighing between 4.5 to 6.5 kg (10 to 14 lbs), the red howler monkey is a medium-sized primate. The monkey's face, captured in this photograph by Frank Greenaway, reveals its distinctive features, including its large, expressive eyes, and the pronounced, red cheek pads that give this monkey its name. The red howler monkey is known for its powerful, deep-throated roar, which can be heard up to 3 km (1.9 miles) away, making it a dominant presence in the forest. As a member of the Eutheria class, Alouatta seniculus is a mammal that gives birth to live young, rather than laying eggs. The red howler monkey's anatomy is adapted for arboreal life, with a long, prehensile tail that helps it move through the trees and a strong, grasping hand to hold onto branches. This portrait of a red howler monkey not only highlights the beauty and uniqueness of this primate but also serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating wildlife that can be found in the forests of the Americas. Frank Greenaway's photograph captures the essence of this primate, making it a must-see for anyone interested in primatology, wildlife photography, or the natural world."]
