How did the noisy night monkey get its name? Probably from the low, loud, distinct, owl-like hoots it makes at night. Although its call is easy to identify, when seen at night these noisy night monkeys can often be mistaken for an opossum or kinkajou when their eyes reflect light. The distinguishing characteristic, however, is that the noisy night monkey has a striking black and white facial pattern, unlike the opossum or kinkajou.
