Mangabey or other?

  • Batfan by Batfan

    There's a monkey sitting in the tree left of centre that appears in several clips before and after this one. I've been assuming that it's a sooty mangabey, like the others in the clips, but sometimes it looks more two-toned to me. I think this is probably just because of the way the light catches it, but every now and then I find myself wondering if it could be another species. Please could someone confirm that it is/is not a mangabey? Many thanks.

    Hi Jane, thanks for your thoroughness 😃

    It is also a sooty mangabey. The videos ACP0005usl ACP0005usm ACP0005usn and ACP0005uso are the previous minute. in ACP0005uso you can see this same mangabey climbing the tree, still visible in ACP0005usk

    Oh and don't you and the other monkey see specialists forget to check out this thread hint, hint ... 😉
