New monkey: so rare only 8 of 52 nearby villages knew it existed

An international team including Yale researchers has described a new species of Colobus monkey living high in the forest canopy of the Democratic Republic of Congo — only the fifth new African monkey found in the past 75 years. The small, black animal wears orange-cream patches around its mouth and nose, and the people who share its forest call it "Likweli."
