Two New Howler Monkey Species Discovered in Amazon

Scientists have identified two previously unknown howler monkey species in the Amazon rainforest through genetic research, 84 years after the last new species was described. This major discovery highlights the region's hidden biodiversity and emphasizes the severe ongoing threat posed by deforestation. Meanwhile, camera traps captured a newly identified Mato Grosso red howler monkey using an artificial canopy bridge to cross fragmented habitats.
