Geocache Description:

Micro cache needing you to bring a pencil.
Congratulations to Smoochersmom on the FTF and too bad TRG for being late.

This is one of the only places you can find a howling monkey.
We just had to stop here to see if they are still found here.
Enjoy the hunt.

Can you imagine someone hearing you holler from three kilometer away? Howler Monkeys have the loudest sound of any land animal, and it can be heard for three kilometers because of a bone its throat that acts like an amplifier. The noise you hear really does have a purpose. It saves the monkey energy. The male Howler Monkeys set up a howl that other male Howler Monkeys hear and respond to. In this manner they can locate one another, and avoid the territories of other Howler Monkeys. This decreases the amount of energy they have to spend fighting for territorial rights.
