The National Zoo continues its streak as the cutest Smithsonian in the city with the news that it celebrated the birth of a black howler money on March 22. The monkey, which was born in the Small Mammal House to parents Chula and Pele, is the first surviving howler monkey in the zoo’s history. Some background on the species:

Their thick necks house a unique voice box, including an enlarged hyoid bone, that enables male howler monkeys to penetrate three miles of dense forest with a single rumbling growl. These booming territorial calls have earned the primates, which are native to Central and South America, the title of loudest animal in the New World (North, Central and South America).

You don’t just have to rely on pictures of this little monkey, though—it’s currently on display.
