- Scientists confirmed a new colobus monkey species in DR Congo — black-furred with striking pinkish‑orange lips and a black face, spotted high in Lomami National Park.
- Extremely rare and shy: first seen (blurrily) in 2008, only known to people in 8 of 52 nearby villages, and it's just the fifth African monkey species described in the last 75 years.
- Researchers hope its official status will aid protection — the monkeys are hunted for meat and teams plan population surveys and behavioral studies.
