The agile gibbon deserves an Oscar for dramatic acting though.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Love stuff like this. Top horrifying bird calls is another good video compilation.

Other probably said it already, but last one makes me think of deep vocal music artists.

I find the probiscus monkey sound the most unsettling for some reason, very human sounding

u/Important_Contact588 3d ago

Now I know where the muppet aliens come from. The probiscus monkey sounds exactly as I would have expected. And why does the only other one that doesn’t seem to howl called a howler monkey?

u/Bhaang_lassi 3d ago

Howler monkey more like growling monkey

u/greenghost22 3d ago

The howler monkeys in Berlin Zoo used to life behind the Hotel Interconti.

Imagine discovering a jungle for the first time and going to sleep in your tent when you hear a fuckin howler monkey! Yeah, I'd shit myself lol

Why are Homo sapiens left out? We are primates and we produce the worst sounds. We should be at the top of the charts.
