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 southeastern Brazil and far northeastern Argentina (Misiones).[1][2] It lives in groups of two 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]
The two subspecies are:[1]
- Northern brown howler (A. g. guariba), listed as critically endangered
- Southern brown howler (A. g. clamitans)
