Red Colobus
The Red Colobus is a type of monkey found primarily in the forests of Africa, particularly in countries like Uganda and Tanzania. These monkeys are known for their distinctive reddish-brown fur and long limbs, which help them navigate through the trees. They are social animals, often living in groups that can range from a few individuals to over a hundred.
Red Colobus monkeys primarily feed on leaves, fruits, and flowers, making them folivorous. They have a unique digestive system that allows them to break down tough plant materials. Unfortunately, their populations are threatened by habitat loss and hunting, leading to conservation efforts to protect these unique primates.
