Roloway Monkey
The Roloway Monkey looks similar to its relative the Diana Monkey, of which it was previously thought to be a subspecies, but has a straighter, less bow-shaped brow, a longer, white beard and a light honey-coloured belly rather than red. It is native to West Africa (Ivory Coast and Ghana). Like the Diana, it is mainly vegetarian. It lives in large family groups.
