When we last met the Mona Monkey, he was stuffing his cheek pouches full of FIGS. While figs are a favorite food of this frugivore, they've also been known to indulge in other plant materials like leaves, seeds, and flowers. (Chapman et al. 2002) #2024MMM

This region of the DRC is known for industrial-scale cobalt and copper mines, which are key components of the lithium-ion batteries that power modern technology ranging from smart phones to electric cars. #2024MMM amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Smaller scale, community-based artisanal mining operations, some of which are led by Congolese women like Annie Sinanduku Mwange, may help alleviate human rights abuses by improving working conditions, women's livelihoods, & reducing child labor. #2024MMM theguardian.com/global-develop…

Up in the forest canopy, we have a mixed group of Mona Monkey (C. wolfi) & Red-Tailed Monkey (C. ascanius) foraging for their favorite respective treats. Like Frog and Toad, these monkeys like to hang together. (McGraw et al. 1994) #2024MMM

The #MMMagic whirlpool causes ocean water to also flow back through the portal, creating a temporarily brackish fresh & salt-water mix as the Mantis Shrimp is pulled closer to the whirlpool portal... #2024MMM

Mona Monkey sees the maelstrom in the river & clambers down to investigate at the water's edge, peering over the branch... #2024MMM

In 2016, Mona Monkey & Red-tailed Monkey meat was 45% of the available game meat in one of the largest markets in Kindu, the closest urban area to Lomami River primate habitat (Hart 2020)! #2024MMM

But the 2017 introduction of a voucher system for regulated hunting has reduced monkey meat at the market, as larger, more sustainable game is prioritzed by hunters! (Hart, Omene, and Hart 2021) #2024MMM
