Black howlers activity level varies depending on their diet. During the winter months, when fruit is scarce, the majority of their diet consists of leaves and they are increasingly inactive compared to the summer months when fruit is more prevalent. Activity ranges between feeding, socialization, locomotion, and sexual activity (Pavelka et. al). Not only alongside of this, but their gut composition changes throughout the seasons to accommodate for dietary changes due to restrictions of resources in the environment (Amato et. al). Their diet as well does not change between sex and age.
