[12] Usually, howler monkeys have a single dominant male, with multiple adult females and babies in smaller groups. [13] In larger groups, the howler monkeys' group composition can ...

The species' adaptable nature, generalized diet, and larger size as to reduce the chance ...
Black colobus monkeys live in multi-male groups of 10-20 individuals. The species is territorial and will make loud calls to warn other groups away from the area in which they are feeding.
