geoffroy's black-and-white colobus

Colobus vellerosus, also known as the white-thighed colobus, is a species of monkey found in West Africa. They are known for their striking black and white fur, with distinctive white patches on their thighs. These arboreal primates primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and seeds. They inhabit dense tropical forests and are highly social animals, living in groups led by a dominant male. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their habitat and prevent further decline in their population.
