The Angolan colobus lives in the dense rainforests and mountains of Africa. These striking primates are easily recognized by their long, silky black-and-white fur. They also lack a functional thumb, which helps them move swiftly tough the trees. Because they eat mostly tough leaves, they have specialized stomachs to help them digest foliage.

These monkeys are highly social and live in large troops led by a single male. They also use complex vocal calls to communicate across the canopy. Because their habitats are shrinking, they are currently listed as Vulnerable.
