Scientists Discover a New Monkey Species in Congo
Scientists at Florida Atlantic University have discovered a new species of monkey in the Congo forests, characterized by light patches on its skin and a mask-like appearance. Locally known as "Lequili," and scientifically classified as "Colobus congoinensis," this marks the fifth new monkey species discovered in Africa over the past 75 years. It is distinguished by its small size and distinctive voice. The species is likely threatened with extinction due to its limited distribution and small populations, and it is recommended to be listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List.
