Colobus Monkey 2

Colobus Monkey 2

The most common species of colobus monkey is the black colobus. Persecuted for their black, shiny long-haired coats, marked by white tufts of fur, there was once an exorbitant European market for this shy, vegetarian monkey. Colobus monkeys are distinct in the absence of a thumb and their short forelimbs. Colobus monkeys are found in central Africa. [BM] {FW}
