It appears as if this mantled howler monkey wasn’t exactly pleased with me taking his photo. In reality, he was just having a good late afternoon yawn. I was hiking along a trail not too far from Panama City when I spotted this troop high in the tree tops. Strong backlight meant that I had to really open up the exposure by adding a few stops of light. This allowed me to record the dark fur of the monkeys — and in the process, blow out the leafy background. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/80th of a second
Great pic! We just came back from Limon, Costa Rica where a troop of howler monkeys overhead served as our early morning alarm clock. The sound they make is so disproportionate to their actual size! Fun to watch them in the treetops.

Great timing, Sean!
Thanks Sue. The yawn is always a good one to wait for.
Quite a set of choppers.
No doubt Rick. Wouldn’t want to get too close.

Another great photo!
Thank you!
Thanks Grace.
