Howler monkeys are a noisy bunch, and their deep hollering vocalizations (which seem to be associated with small testicles) can travel remarkable distances through the canopy. New research published in the journal Animal Behaviour has uncovered another way in which these roaring monkeys are perfectly adapted to rainforest life, as they found that howlers have remarkable navigation skills. Not only could they remember the location of their favourite foods (and when they were in season) they knew the critical locations for reminding neighboring troops to keep out of their territory with warning calls.

Even now, two years after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the age of 23, Emily Plane cannot remember any early symptoms that marked her out from her friends. I had tummy aches but I just thought I was allergic to something, she says. The pain below her belly button came and went. And she either had diarrhoea or felt bloated and constipated. I had two friends who were gluten intolerant who had the same symptoms, she says.
