Semliki red colobus

provided by wikipedia EN

The Semliki red colobus (Piliocolobus semlikiensis) is a type of red colobus monkey from central Africa. Historically it has been treated as a subspecies of the Central African red colobus (P. foai)[2] but more recent taxonomies generally treat it as a separate species.[3][4]

The Semliki red colobus lives in ironwood forest in the portion of the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo between the Semliki River valley and the Ruwenzori Mountains.[3] It may also live in a small area of Uganda.[4]
