Golden Mantled Howler Monkey Chilling-out

Golden Mantled Howler Monkey Chilling out on a tree branch by the Tempisque River. The name Golden-mantled is derived from the golden brown guard hairs on its sides. They generally prefer to reside in the top third of the rainforest canopy. However they make use of all levels of the rainforest, happily chilling out on the lower branches near a cool river.
