Cercocebus galeritus (Tana River mangabey)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Tana River mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus) is a highly endangered species of primate in the Cercopithecidae family. Some authorities have included the taxa agilis and sanjei as subspecies of this species, while others award these full species status. It is endemic to riverine forest patches along the lower Tana River in southeastern Kenya. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, which has increased in recent years.
