Red Colobus

Red colobuses are Old World monkeys of the subgenus Piliocolobus in the genus Procolobus.

They are found throughout Sub-Sahara Africa and prefer humid areas. However, the Zanzibar Red Coulobus , as pictured below lives in coastal thickets. Red colobuses are also highly sensitive to hunting and habitat destruction,and, of all 10 species, only the Central African red colobus (Procolobus foai) is not endangered.
