    Congolese monkey with mask-like face and strong BO is new to science

    A new monkey species, Colobus congoensis (likweli), with a mask-like face and strong body odor, has been identified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is the fifth new African monkey species documented in 75 years and exhibits ancestral traits resembling Asian colobine monkeys. Genetic analysis confirmed its distinct lineage, splitting from a relative 4-5 million years ago.
