28 years
Lesula, or Cercopithecus Lomamiensi, lives in

strange monkey in a remote town
It took three years to confirm the monkey was
actually a new species

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.

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.

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