Venezuelan Red Howler
The red howler (Alouatta seniculus) is a South American species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, found in the western Amazon Basin in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. The population in the Santa Cruz Department in Bolivia was split off as a separate species, the Bolivian red howler, in 1985, and more recently, splitting off the population in northeastern South America and Trinidad as the Guyanan red howler has been recommended. All howler monkeys belong to the family Atelidae and the infraorder Platyrrhini (New World monkeys).

Famous quotes containing the word red:
“The poppy that my heart was,
formed to bind all mortals,
made to strike and gather hearts
like flame upon an altar,
fades and shrinks, a red leaf
drenched and torn in the cold rain.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
