While exploring the Northeast section of the reserve for the fertile valley, we discovered a group of howler monkeys.
Howlers are called "congos" in Nicaragua. Their name comes from their distinctive loud barking whoop they make, which can be heard over nearly 3 miles. They are considered the loudest land animal. Though they don't grow much above two feet, there "howl" sounds like King Kong.
Welcome to O! It is the first smart wildlife reserve in the world. Designed and financed by a 9-11 FDNY firefighter. And we need your help to make it. We prefer those with experience, but are willing to take time to get you to do some volunteer work. Transport, food, dorms, and t-shirt provided.
Have fun saving the world!
