Nairobi, Kenya (CNN) -- Scientists are claiming they have discovered a new species of monkey living in the remote forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo -- an animal well-known to local hunters but until now, unknown to the outside world. In a paper published Wednesday in the open-access journal Plos One, the scientists describe the new species that they call Cercopithecus Lomamiensis, known locally as the Lesula, whose home is deep in central DR Congo's Lomami forest basin. The scientists say it is only the second discovery of a monkey species in 28 years. http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/12/world/africa/dr- congo-new-monkey/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 |

While Lesula and owl-faced monkeys (Cercopithecus hamlyni) have quite similar faces, the Lesula’s colourings set it apart from any other species. As an adult, its pink, naked facial skin and muzzle are framed by a long mane of blonde hairs flecked with brown. A pale stripe of yellowish-cream skin runs down its nose, like the more distinctive flash of white running down the dark facial skin of C. hamlyni

'The lesula looks right back at its beholder, calm and pensive, examining you as you examine it.' |
