Alouatta seniculus = Venezuelan Red Howler (= Affe)
Vergleich: Siehe: Mammalia
[Sigrid Lindemann, Ulrike Fechner]
Since we know thousands of different species of monkeys and about 350 of
the primates, humans explored a tremendous number of biological facts about
these creatures.
Since homeopathic researches notably widened in the last 30 years, we
discover more and more remedies of the animal kingdom. Some are already profoundly
illuminated, unluckily the primates
aren ́t so. With the trituration
of the Red Howler, a member of the New World monkeys, we take the next step towards
a better understanding of our biological relatives and also our patients.
Since the primates are able to recognize themselves in a mirror, as a
sign of conciousness, scientists believe, that they
do have intentions before acting.
In the trituration we found remarkable
intentions of changing the life, of leaving the group and living by oneself in
contradiction to a the fear of being alone, being insecure and therefore
resignation
and a shrugging acceptance of the present situation.
We found these primate at the doorstep of the evolutional jump towards
the humans. Well, if this is a real jump.
To summarize the observations, it would be:
"I want to change and to
develop myself, but I neither have the energy for it nor an idea how to do it."

The color of both males and females is a deep
reddish-brown, and the color shade changes with age. Males
range from 49 - 72 cm and females from 46 - 57 cm long.
The males weigh 5.4-9 kg, while females weigh 4.2 - 7 kg.
It has a long prehensile tail of 49 -75 cm, which allows it to grab
branches.
The diurnal Alouatta seniculus
is an arboreal primate, so it spends much of its time high in the canopy. Its
preferred method of locomotion is quadrupedal walking
with minimal leaping. Its long,
prehensile tail also assists it by providing both support and grasping abilities.
In addition, its hands and feet have a grasping pattern that allows it to
better move about in the trees. This can be seen
by the wide separation of the second and third digits of the hand.
Social Interaction
It lives in groups of 3 - 9 individuals (usually 5 - 7). The groups are polygynous, with only one or two males and the rest females
and their offspring. One male is the usually dominant monkey of the group, the
alpha male, and he is responsible for leading them to new food sites and
defending them. The females of the group are in charge of the offspring.
Venezuelan red howlers are most active in the morning, when the group is on the
move to find another feeding spot. These howlers are famous for their “dawn
chorus”.
These roaring and howling calls are performed mostly by the males in the
group. The roars can be heard up to 5 km away in the forest, and make their
presence known in the area.
This is also used to prevent confrontations between groups, which will
prevent energy loss by avoiding physical fighting. Because of their low-sugar
diets, conservation of energy is key. The calls also help in the scattering of
the groups and lessens the competition over food.
Diet
A. seniculus monkeys are folivores,
which means their diets mainly consist of leaves, but they also rely on nuts,
small animals, fruits, seeds, and flowers for important nutrients.
These foods provide sugar necessary for growth and energy. The most
important part of their diets is leaves, which they cannot live without for
more than a week. They eat both older and younger leaves; however, the older
leaves provide more nutrition.
Alouatta seniculus
is a South American species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, found
in the western Amazon Basin in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.
All howler monkeys belong to the family Atelidae
and the infraorder Platyrrhini
(New World monkeys).
