Oustalet's red colobus, Piliocolobus oustaleti, is a red colobus monkey that lives in various types of forest in southern South Sudan, southern Central African Republic, northern Democratic Republic of the Congo and northeastern Republic of the Congo. It eats leaves, fruit, flowers, buds and possibly seeds. Males have a head and body length of 45.9 to 68 cm and a tail of 55.5 to 73 cm, and females measure 52 to 64 cm with a tail of 68 to 73 cm. Males weigh about 12.5 kg and females about 8.2 kg. Some authors once treated it as a subspecies of Foa's red colobus, which is also called the Central African red colobus.
