Semliki red colobus

Mammals

The Semliki red colobus, Piliocolobus semlikiensis, is a red colobus monkey of central Africa. It lives in ironwood forest in a part of the northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo between the Semliki River valley and the Ruwenzori Mountains, and it may also occur in a small area of Uganda. Historically it was treated as a subspecies of the Central African red colobus, Piliocolobus foai, but more recent taxonomies generally treat it as a separate species.
