Sometimes, we encounter #monkeys that have scars or malformations. This white-naped #mangabey juvenile has a naked area above the right eye & their right elbow looks malformed. Have they experienced trauma? #Africa #primates Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A. KONE Les Parcs nationaux et Réserves naturelles
Good news! Another #cameratrap has captured videos of the critically #endangered Western chimpanzee in Comoé National Park from an area where the previous researcher could not find the #primate. #Africa #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

#Bushbabies in Comoé National Park say "Hello" from the canopy. Still unsure of the species ID after consulting many experts. Somebody, plz come and do a systematic study! #Africa #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

A lesser spot-nosed monkey is mobbing a fish eagle @ Comoé National Park. Clearly, this individual does not want it to be here, but fish eagles are not predators of these monkeys. #Africa #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

Medium-sized primates like this olive #colobus cannot always sit on a terminal branch as smaller #primates can. So, they sit on a large tree bough to pull it over and munch on young leaves. #Africa #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

The olive #colobus and the Lowe's monkey were scratching a lot in the rainy June in Comoé National Park, Côte d'Ivoire. Correlation w/ mosquito & tsetse fly abundance? #Africa #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

Happy Monday! This putative hybrid monkey (white-naped mangabey x olive baboon) is feeding on mushrooms in Comoé National Park, CIV. We are collecting their faecal matter to examine their DNA. #Africa #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

At Comoé National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, multiple white-naped #mangabey males give loud karakoo barks that often reverberate in the gallery #forest. #Africa #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

@Comoé National Park, CIV, young lesser spot-nosed monkeys like to play when adults are napping. This species used to be common in much of West #Africa, but even this sp. is now Near Threatened. #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

Green monkeys of the Comoé National Park, Côte d'Ivoire may be thinking "Hugging your loved one makes you feel good." Why don't you try this morning? #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

Tom Struhsaker (1967) famously described Vervets' ♂ visual signals as "red, white, & blue (scrota)" but green monkeys don't have blue scrota. They have ones that are yellow to green! #primates Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.

Ischial callosities (sitting pads) help us identify sexes in #Endangered white-naped #mangabeys. See the far-apart ♀ (grooming an adult ♀ green monkey) and jointed ♂(the last individual) patterns. #primates #conservation Fordham University Université Jean Lorougnon Guédé Officiel Université Nangui Abrogoua N'Golo A.
