The guenon, also known as the Diana monkey or Diana guenon (Cercopithecus), is a fascinating species of primate. With its striking black and white fur and elegant appearance, it captivates the hearts of many wildlife enthusiasts. One particular type of the Lesser spot-nosed guenon (Cercopithecus petaurista). This small monkey has a distinctive spotted nose that adds to its charm. Another notable member of this family is the Red-tailed guenon (Cercopithecus ascanius), which boasts a vibrant red tail that stands out against its dark coat. Amongst these diverse species, we find the Moustached guenon or moustached monkey (Cercopithecus cephus). Its unique facial hair gives it an air of sophistication and sets it apart from other primates in the wild. In rare instances, there have been stories about two children being taken by a mischievous monkey. While such events are extremely uncommon, they highlight both the intelligence and curiosity possessed by these creatures. Artistic depictions throughout history have immortalized these magnificent animals. From colour lithographs showcasing their beauty to engravings capturing their essence, artists have sought to convey their awe-inspiring presence. However, not all members of this primate family are called "guenons. " The Red-tailed/Black-cheeked white-nosed/Redtail Monkey or Schmidts/Red-tailed Guenon represents another variation within this group. Its name may be complex but reflects its distinct characteristics that make it stand out among others in its genus. Monkey Teeth from 1824 showcases how even centuries ago people were fascinated by these creatures' dental structure. Furthermore, colourful lithographs depicting mammals from around 1860 provide us with glimpses into historical perceptions and representations of various animal species, including the guenon.
