DEBRAZZA'S MONKEY

DeBrazza's monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus) (Cercopithecus neglectus), large, brightly coloured guenon widely distributed through eastern and central Africa, particularly in forests near rivers and swamps. DeBrazza's monkey is a white-bearded animal with speckled, yellow-gray fur, a white stripe along each thigh, and black hands, feet, and tail. On the forehead a browband of white-tipped red hairs is surmounted by another, black band; the cheek fur is grizzled black and yellow. DeBrazza's monkey is rather heavy-set and has a less lively nature than some of the other guenons. See also guenon.
