Samango monkey

Cercopithecus albogularis labiatus

Description:

The shoulders, limbs and tail are black or charcoal grey; the back from the shoulders to the base of the tail is suffused with reddish brown, the reddish colour intensifying towards the base of the tail. The throat is white, the underparts and inner sides of limbs off-white or buffy, the face dark brown.

Habitat:

forests

Notes:

It was standing on a tree, glaring at us with the apple in his hands. He evidently wanted food from us too, and as we refused he almost came to the point of attacking us.(This is the reason for which nobody should ever give them food.)
