El nacimiento de gemelos es un evento poco común en la mayoría de las especies de primates salvajes. Aquí informamos sobre la primera observación de gemelos en monos aulladores negros y dorados (Alouatta caraya) silvestres. En mayo del 2023 observamos a una hembra adulta de mono aullador que cargaba/trasladaba crías gemelas que habían nacido la noche anterior. Durante el primer día de vida, ambas crías cambiaron de posición con frecuencia sobre la madre. En el momento de escribir este artículo, los gemelos habían sobrevivido sus primer año, más que en registros anteriores de gemelos de monos aulladores.
