In the rain forests of Belize, instincts drive the daily struggle for survival; and at the end of the day, some animals make it and some don't. This is the story of a young howler monkey separated from his mother. He soon becomes the focus of confrontation between two rival troops. Stranded 50 feet above the jungle floor, too far from his mother for rescue, the young howler is attacked by the large monkeys of the rival troop until the inevitable occurs.
