Udzungwa red colobus

The Udzungwa red colobus, Piliocolobus gordonorum, also known as the Uzungwa or Iringa red colobus, is a primate endemic to riverine and montane forests in the Udzungwa Mountains of the Kilolo District, Iringa Region, Tanzania. German zoologist Paul Matschie described it in 1900, and it was re-classified as a separate species in 2001 after being considered a subspecies of the western and Pennant's red colobuses. It is a medium-sized monkey with a long tail, mostly black fur with some grey hairs, white hairs on the sides of the face and underside, a crown-like tuft of brown or red hair and a black face with white lips and nose. It lives in forests from dry lowland to wet montane and is mostly diurnal, spending more than a third of the day feeding on leaves. The IUCN classifies it as Vulnerable.
