Their sound can travel for miles through the rainforest, serving as territorial warnings.

These sounds are amplified by a special, enlarged hyoid bone in their throats.

This acts like a natural amplifier, allowing males to communicate location and defend territory.

They are the loudest land mammals, with calls reaching up to 140 decibel (dB).

They are a common, iconic sound in Central and South American forests, often heard at dawn.

Their vocal anatomy is specialised for producing powerful, low-frequency sounds that carry far in dense jungle.

The primary reason for the noise is to define boundaries and avoid physical conflict with other groups.
