	Diana Monkey at Animal Corner
		The Diana Monkey ranges from 40 to 55 cm in length, excluding its tail, which is of a uniform 3–4 cm diameter and 50–75 cm long.
		Diana monkeys have marked colouration which allows a wide range of visual social signals, and it also has a wide range of alarm calls, with different sounds for different predators; it is a noisy presence in the forest.
		The Diana monkey is regarded as endangered by the IUCN as well as by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the chief dangers to them being habitat destruction (they are now virtually confined to coastal areas) and hunting for bush meat.

		The Diana guenon occurs in West Africa, in the Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone (2).
		Diana guenons are arboreal and live in the high canopy of forests where they forage during the day for fruit, leaves and insects (4) (6).
		However, Diana guenons seem to have perfected this behaviour and are so alert that other primate species have come to live with them to benefit from their watchful eyes (5).

		Diana Monkeys spend most of their time high up in the trees of dense forest in West Africa, from Sierra Leone to Ghana.
		Guenons are medium to large monkeys, mainly tree-dwelling and fruit-eating; they play an important part in forest regeneration by helping to disperse the seeds of the fruits they eat.
		It is one of the most endangered of all the guenons; it is hunted for its flesh and fur and for the pet trade, and its habitat is under constant threat from deforestation.

	Hornbills can distinguish between primate alarm calls (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Yellow-casqued hornbills are vulnerable to predation by crowned eagles but are not preyed on by leopards and might therefore be expected to respond to the Diana monkey eagle alarm call but not to the leopard alarm call.
		We compared responses of hornbills to playback of eagle shrieks, leopard growls, Diana monkey eagle alarm calls and Diana monkey leopard alarm calls and found that they distinguished appropriately between the two predator vocalizations as well as between the two Diana monkey alarm calls.
		The researchers presumed that the hornbills did not respond to the Diana monkey's warning call about the leopard because the leopard is not a threat to them.

	Pulse register phonation in Diana monkey alarm calls — Institute of Theoretical Biology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The adult male Diana monkeys (Cercopithecus diana) produce predator-specific alarm calls in response to two of their predators, the crowned eagles and the leopards.
		Finally, the Diana monkeys' pulsed phonation strongly resembles the pulse register in human speech, where fundamental frequency is mainly controlled by subglottal pressure.
		We discuss the implications of these findings for the structural evolution of Diana monkey alarm calls and suggest that the restricted variability in fundamental frequency and robustness of the source signal gave rise to the formant patterns observed in Diana monkey alarm calls, used to convey predator information.

	The Phenomenon of Monkeys as 'Surrogate Children'
		The presence of a completely dependent baby monkey may be intended by many of these individuals to ward off loneliness and depression due to a lack of human contact; or it is often the case that the baby monkeys are used as objects for projection of nurturing instincts.
		The monkey's biological mother loses when her baby is torn from her breast to be sold as a "pet".
		The monkey herself/himself usually loses by having her/his instincts stifled; by not receiving proper care; when inappropriate harsh discipline is administered in attempts to control the monkey; and through surgical mutilation, such as tooth removal.
