Monkey ID confirmation needed please

  • Batfan by Batfan

    The further of these monkeys is a mona monkey, but what about the nearer one, with a baby? I've ID'd it as a mangabey but, because it's not seen from the front, there's a little room for doubt in my mind. As it appears in subsequent clips (all back view only), I thought I'd better just check so that I can correct the others if I'm wrong. Thank you.

    This is an olive colobus. Nice find! The coat color is here hart to see, but they are lighter and the only ones to transport their infants with the mouth. What you can see here at the beginning.

    Many thanks @Anland. Apologies for having got it wrong. Have been through the others in this sequence and amended the tags.
