Howler Monkeys go crazy in their mating song duel - Columbia Riverbanks Zoo video

Bring it on! This hollering and mating dance extravaganza tops the one from the Siamang monkeys we've seen at the Greenville Zoo.

The display is perfect for the dueling show: open space unobstructed by cages, all around access, a state of the art exhibit equipped with ropes, boulders, trees and even a waterfall.

The monkeys respond beautifully showing off their unique singing and acrobatic skills.

You may be right...that's what the zoo said.

Either way they're so much fun to watch!

Thanks this really helped. I'm doing this on a science project on endangered species and I need to know about its mating. So thanks.

No problem!

That's a siamang.

Yes, these are Siamangs, a large gibbon, not a howler monkey at all. Howler monkeys do some sort of a dull roar noise, not a high pitched call like these guys

[dancefreaque]

you're absolutely right: there are siamangs which are lesser apes and howler monkeys which are New World monkeys. Two completely different primates

[Faelcind]

Siamangs are lesser apes not monkeys
