For the Win!



"A howler monkey weighs little more than a pug but can roar as loud as a tiger. Researchers at Cambridge University have found a surprising trade-off across howler species: the louder a male’s roar, the smaller his reproductive organs. His testicles, to be specific."

This has the best chance of anything to convince them to speak at a civil volume level.

Stayed at an old hotel near the Pacific Ocean that was built in levels. There were howler monkeys everywhere.

At sunrise, they all started howling. I've never heard anything like it - until this week's Republicans on the Judiciary.

A near perfect comparison, except that howler monkeys are cute when they are not howling.

And yes, many howler monkeys, and iguanas on the sidewalks.
I love that place. The howlers would cross the street hanging to the wires overhead.
The iguanas, some quite large, just expected you to step over them.

Our guide called them the Beach Mafia. They'd pose for pictures, steal people's stuff. They were everywhere.

I presume that the louder they rev their engines, the less impressive their junk must be, and that they are aware of it.

next to a guy in a truck, reving his engine at the stop light near where I live. The road leads to the interstate. As soon as the light turns green, I step on the gas and get to 60 mpr in seconds. He catches up with me after a while, but I am sure he wonders how a Ford Focus can accelerate so fast. How did the little old lady beat me, I have my truck!

The family resemblance is unmistakable - although the monkeys are much better beings.

At least they don't betray their kind.
