Another subject of great interest to those who dare brave the forest after dark is the night monkey
, the only truly nocturnal monkey. These small primates weigh between 2 and 3 pounds and make an incredible variety of sounds from low trills and grunts, to screams and hoots. The monkeys live in family groups and can often be located for observation after the sun sets. Unfortunately, these monkeys are one of the few species who are susceptible to malaria and have been used for scientific research for the prevention of malaria in humans.
