In the meantime, I would appreciate if you could share this tournament around- it won’t be much of a tournament if there aren’t that many people voting! In going down the research rabbit hole I’ve found so many interesting species and stories, and I promise learning about them here will be worth your time!

Top five primates! (Are there five I don't really know anything haha don't JUDGE me!)

Aaaaand top five computer keyboard shortcuts. Idk why, I'm whimsical!

Hey, Howl my love!!

1. Howler monkeys! All howler monkeys really, but mantled howlers are my faves. They're all so loud and dumb. My loves.

2. Aye-ayes. Super misunderstood, super endangered, really creepy, I love them so much.

3. Guenons. I think all guenons are neat and really beautiful (although I guess I am partial to De Brazza's monkeys because I love a beard. They look like wizards).

4. Orangutans! People of the forest! My beloveds.

5. Golden lion tamarins. Tiny beautiful glowing tropical babies.

There are about a million other species I am in love with and interested in, so this was really hard. I can't tell you how many times I changed this list!

I'm technologically inept and can't think of any keyboard shortcuts off the top of my head! I'm sorry!

The mantled howler (Alouatta palliata), or golden-mantled howling monkey, is a species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, from Central and South America. It is one of the monkey species most often seen and heard in the wild in Central America. It takes its “mantled” name from the long guard hairs on its sides. Photos taken in Panama.

Golden-mantled howler monkeys taking a stroll in the trees. Howlers are one of the largest and most vocal new world monkeys, and their ominous “howls” can be heard throughout the jungles of Central America. This subspecies of mantled howlers get their “Golden-mantled” name due to the long golden guard hairs on it’s side and back. #pavones #monkeys #howlermonkey #costarica #naturelovers (at Playa Pavones de Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Pexr1Hovq/?igshid=1qs87xttnkrsz
