New monkey from Congo
The newest priamte is colorful and downright fascinating. It looks like a long-nosed old professor. The lesula, Cercopithecus lomamiensis, "looks right back at its beholder, calm and pensive, examining you as you examine it," a human observer noted. Check out the photo in the attached article.
And it is, of course, yet another reminder that we don't know all the animals, not even all the primates, in this still-big world of ours.
