Howler Monkey Calling

Listen closely and you can almost hear this howler monkey coloring page. Perched on a branch with its head tilted up and its mouth wide open, it looks like it is letting out one of its famous booming calls. The rounded jaw, shaggy fur texture, and a long thick tail curled around the branch give you lots of interesting surfaces to shade. Coloring the fur in short strokes is a fun way for older kids to add texture and depth. Howler monkeys are among the loudest land animals on Earth, and their deep roaring calls can carry for nearly three miles through the rainforest. They use those calls to tell other troops to keep their distance. Younger colorists can enjoy the big simple shapes, while bigger kids tackle the furry detail. Print this page on US Letter or A4 and bring your noisy howler to life in deep reddish browns, blacks, or any bold shade.
