Black crested mangabey

The black crested mangabey, Lophocebus aterrimus, is a species of Old World monkey in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with a small part of its range extending into Angola. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. It is threatened by habitat loss. The species is assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, a category recorded in the GBIF species record. The English Wikipedia article on the species is brief, so this entry states only what that article and the GBIF record support: the family, the range in the Congo basin and Angola, the dry forest habitat and the main threat. Further detail on diet, behaviour and population remains to be added from specialist sources.
