What is central american monkey?

Central American monkeys are a group of primates that inhabit the central region of the Americas, including countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. They are classified into several families, including howler monkeys, spider monkeys, squirrel monkeys, and capuchin monkeys.

These monkeys are generally arboreal and live in rainforests, tropical forests, and other types of woodland environments. They are known for their energetic and playful behavior, often playing and jumping from tree to tree. They have prehensile tails that help them grip branches and climb trees.

Some species of central american monkeys, such as howler monkeys, have a distinctive, deep "howl" or "whoop" call that can be heard over a mile away. Many of these species are considered endangered due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts have been made to protect them and their habitats.
