The Mantled guereza<br />
The Mantled guereza is a large, sturdy<br />
colobus monkey with an attractive<br />
black-and-white coat. Glossy, black<br />
fur covers much of the body, but<br />
contrasts with short, white hair<br />
surrounding the face, a u-shaped, cape<br />
-like mantle of long white hair that<br />
extends down the shoulders and across<br />
the lower back, and a bushy white tuft<br />
to the tip of the tail.<br />
Although not clearly resolved, eight<br />
Guereza subspecies are currently<br />
recognised, each occupying a<br />
distinctive range and exhibiting slight<br />
variations in appearance.<br />
The main features that set the subspecies apart are the length and colouration of the mantle, which sometimes<br />
appears creamy or yellow, the length of the tail, and the extent of the tail tuft.<br />
At birth, the hair of infant guerezas is completely white, in striking contrast with the predominately black fur of<br />
the adult guereza. - www.arkive.org<br />
