LEAST CONCERN

DE BRAZZA'S MONKEY

CERCOPITHECUS NEGLECTUS

De Brazza's Monkeys are native to the wetlands and forests of Central Africa. With its unique white mustache and orange-brown fur, it stands out among other monkey species. These social animals are often seen in small family groups, where they forage for leaves, fruits and insects in the morning and evening.

 

When frightened, they opt to freeze, hide, and wait for the danger to pass. However, if pressed, these guenons will make booming vocalizations and violently shake branches if a predator or stranger comes too close.
