Zanzibar red colobus (Piliocolobus kirkii)

This species of colobus is only found on Unguja island, off the coast of Tanzania. Isolated here, they have developed a more human-like face, with a flatter snout and larger brain. They live in a variety of forest environments, and have a specialised stomach for digesting leaves. They are also known to eat soil and charcoal.

Mantled guereza (Colobus guereza)

These stunning monkeys live in the forests of central Africa. They are well adapted for eating leaves, but will also eat fruit, wood, insects, and soil. Like howler monkeys of South America, guerezas will create a roaring dawn chorus that can be heard from a surprisingly long way away.
