New orange-lipped monkey found: Scientists identify Colobus congoensis, a species that roars & snorts loudly in the Congo rainforest

Orange-lipped monkey: Scientists have identified a new species of monkey with striking orange lips in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The rare primate discovery is being hailed as one of the most significant African monkey finds in decades. Named Colobus congoensis, the species was found within a small, river-enclosed range between the Lomami and Lualaba rivers. DNA analysis confirmed that it is genetically distinct from all previously known colobus monkey species.
