	Highland Mangabey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Highland Mangabey (Lophocebus kipunji) is a species of Old World monkey that lives in the highland forests of Tanzania.
		Highland Mangabeys are about three feet long and have a long brown fur which tufts out from the sides and tops of their heads.
		The Highland Mangabey has a unique call, described as a "honk-bark", which distinguishes it from its close relatives the Grey-cheeked Mangabey and the Black Crested Mangabey, the calls of which are described as a "whoop-gobble".

		Highland mangabeys have mostly brown fur on their bodies and light-colored or white fur on their tails.
		Scientists have not been able to measure a highland mangabey yet, but adult males are estimated to be about 90 centimeters or three feet from head to foot.
		However, the highland mangabeys living in the Southern Highlands are at serious risk of extinction because their forest homes are being destroyed, Jones explained.

		Highland mangabeys are covered by a thick brown fur, except belly and tail, where the fur is whitish.
		Another highland mangabey population was found by biologist Trevor Johns together with field assistant Richard Laizzer in the Udzungwa Mountains.
		Cerocebus mangabeys are most closely related to the large baboons called mandrills, have pink or white eyelids that contrast with their fl face color, and spend at least some of their time on the ground.

		Named the highland mangabey, Lophocebus kipunji, the long-haired primate was first discovered by biologists from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) on the flanks of the 10,000 ft (2,961 meter) volcano Mt. Rungwe and in the adjoining Kitulo National Park.
		Parallel to the discovery of the mangabey's existence, comes the discovery that it is extremely rare and it is already classed as critically endangered, with an estimated total population of between 500 and 1,000 animals.
		Highland mangabeys live in groups, travelling and foraging in the forest canopy.

	Highland mangabey - Lophocebus kipinji - ARKive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The remarkable discovery of Tanzania's highland mangabey in 2003 and 2004 (by two independent research teams) represented Africa's first new monkey discovery in 20 years.
		One of the features that established the mangabey as a distinct species is its unique and distinctive call.
		Described as a loud, low-pitched ‘honk-bark', the call distinguishes the highland mangabey from its close relatives, the grey-cheeked mangabey (Lophocebus albigena) and fl crested mangabey (Lophocebus aterrimus), the calls of which are described as a "whoop-gobble".

		Except for their furry off-white bellies and tails, highland mangabeys are covered in thick brown fur.
		Given the likely critically endangered status of the highland mangabey, the researchers have not captured an individual for detailed scientific analysis, nor do they plan to.
		Davenport said he is uncertain how long the Wanyakyusa have known about the highland mangabey, "but they certainly had a name for it—kipunji." In recognition of the Wanyakyusa's likely generations-long knowledge of the species, kipunji is the second half of the species's scientific name.

		The new mangabey is very arboreal, staying in the high canopy of trees, and appears to be very frugivorous (fruit-eating) in its diet.
		For an unknown and threatened species such as this mangabey, it is critical to understand what their habitat requirements are, including data on their diet and ranging patterns.
		The Sanje mangabey has been the ‘flagship species’ of the Udzungwa Mountains National Park and is a very important part of the rich biodiversity of these montane forests.
