EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned wildlife photographer Frank Greenaway, showcases the expressive face of a Mantled Guereza Colobus monkey (Colobus guereza). The Guereza, also known as the Black and White Colobus, is an Old World monkey belonging to the Cercopithecidae family and the Colobinae subfamily. This primate is native to the forests of eastern and central Africa, and is characterized by its long, prehensile tail and distinctive fur pattern, which includes a mantle of black fur across its shoulders and back. The Guereza in this image appears alert and curious, its large, round eyes conveying a sense of intelligence and awareness. The contrast between the monkey's light-colored face and its dark fur creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricate texture of its fluffy fur. As a member of the Eutheria order, the Guereza is a placental mammal, meaning that it develops inside its mother's womb and is nourished by a placenta. It is also a haplorhine primate, which means it has a simple, non-prehensile nose and no tail bone. The Guereza's anatomy is well-suited to its arboreal lifestyle, with long limbs and a long, grasping tail that enable it to move easily through the trees. Its diet consists primarily of leaves, shoots, and fruits, and it is an important seed disperser in its forest habitat. This photograph by Frank Greenaway offers a rare glimpse into the beauty and expressiveness of the Mantled Guereza Colobus monkey, reminding us of the rich diversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving habitats that support these remarkable creatures.
