Monkey species of Bolivia

Monkeys of Bolivia 

(PART ONE )

Monkeys are one of the coolest animals we see during our Bolivian Wildlife watching trips. Here are a few of our favourite Monkey species you have the chance to see during our Bolivian Jungle trips 

BLACK HOWLER MONKEY

The black howler Monkey is the largest of the Howler Monkey species and weighs from 4-10kgs. They are born blonde and Males turn Black as they get older. Its call can be heard from 5 Kilometres away , hence the name Howler Monkey.

WHITE EARED TITI MONKEY 

A personal favourite of mine, these little Monkeys make an incredible racket in the morning and can be seen in small groups early mornings. They weigh less than 1 kgs have territories between 0.5 and 14 hectares and their calls are called duets. 

BOLIVIAN RED HOWLER MONKEY 

Unlike other Howler species, the Bolivian Howler prefers to live along rivers. It can live up to 20 plus years in Captivity. Males of this species are known to enter groups and kill all rivals infants. 

BLACK TAILED MARMOSET 

 A New World Monkey which shares most of its range outside the Amazon Rainforest. This tiny yet cheeky species weighs less than half a kg and lives in groups ranging from 2-20 Monkeys.  It is often heard before being seen as it has very high pitched squeaks which are easily distingushed. 

In Part two of the Monkeys of Bolivia we will show you the other species our clients frequently observe during our tours in Bolivia.
