Mexican howlers live in forests between southeastern Mexico and northeastern Peru. Their geographical range places them within these specific Latin American regions.
They are large, stocky and covered in thick black fur. They have long, golden-brown or yellowish guard hairs draped across their flanks. This striking hair pattern looks like a golden saddle over their sides. Their faces are bare, black, and hairless. They have a gloomy expression alongside a luscious, thick beard under their chin.
Adult males grow significantly longer beard than the females. They have a large neck and a heavy, deep lower jaw line.
They have a prehensile tail, a deep jaw and a large pharynx. They use this large pharynx to make deep and resonating howls. They form unusually large groups averaging 14 members. The groups sometimes extend to 40 members in size.
They eat a remarkable variety of foods including leaves, flowers, buds, petioles, fruits, twigs, bark, moss, dirt, and vines.
Females give birth to a single baby during each pregnancy. Twins are incredibly rare for this species.
