Red colobus

Procolobus kirkii

Description:

Female red colobus monkey

Habitat:

Costal forest

Notes:

This wonderfully expressive female red colobus was photographed at the border of the Jozani National Park in Zanzibar, and was part of a group of one male with several females and youngsters. Colobus are unique in their lack of an opposable thumb compared to other primates. An endangered species edemic to the island of Zanzibar, the red colobus is now the target of major protection efforts.

Thanks for your kind comment animaisfotos. The male in the last pic you're referring to definitely cut an impressive figure. Looking back at this pic I realize these animals were observing me as much as I was observing them...

Have edited this spotting to add a few more pictures from the same group of animals, including female caring for her baby and male of the group (5th shot).
