The red colobus is a type of monkey found primarily in the forests of Africa. These primates are known for their distinctive reddish-brown fur and long limbs. They live in social groups and are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, fruits, and flowers. Red colobus monkeys are important for their ecosystems, as they help in seed dispersal. Unfortunately, their populations are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique animals and their habitats in various regions, including Ghana and Uganda.
