Howler Monkeys

I have never actually encountered a howler monkey in real life, but I have a feeling I have heard what can be best described as a fairly accurate imitation of its call. A girl in one of my 6th grade classes can be heard on numerous occasions screeching around the school grounds. During class even, should she get a little too excited, she can be found trying to break glass using no tools other than her voice. And I think she believes I am joking when I start to cower and press my hands up against my ears.

I can do it too. Better still is that I can do it with a closed mouth. In noisy bars, I'll let one rip, and no one has any idea where this horrible shreiking is coming from...
