Spot nosed monkey?

• by Batfan

  Is the monkey in the background, to the left, a spot nosed monkey? Have tagged it as such but will alter if I'm wrong. Also seen in ACP0002ybj

  What a great find, Jane! We very rarely see spot-nosed monkeys and I'm quite sure this is one. There's no red tail and thus not a red-tailed monkey 😃 Not their territorry anyway, I think. Lovely!

  Thanks Heidi. 😃 Checking through other clips, I thought it probably was one, but just thought I should get confirmation as I haven't actually come across one before.

  Yes, it is a lesser spot-nosed monkey. There are no red-tailed monkeys in West Africa.
