"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 males roar, the smaller his reproductive organs. His testicles, to be specific."

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.

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.

(9,426 posts)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!

(21,639 posts)The family resemblance is unmistakable - although the monkeys are much better beings.
At least they don't betray their kind.
