The black-and-white colobus is a type of monkey found in the forests of Africa. It is known for its striking black fur and white facial markings, as well as its long, flowing tail. These monkeys are primarily arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time in trees, where they move gracefully through the branches. Black-and-white colobus monkeys are social animals, living in groups that can range from a few individuals to over twenty. They primarily eat leaves, fruits, and flowers, which are abundant in their forest habitats. Their unique digestive system helps them break down tough plant material efficiently.
