EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a mantled guereza, also known as the eastern black-and-white colobus, perched gracefully in a wild fig tree. The young adult monkey showcases its striking black and white fur pattern against the lush green foliage of Ethiopia's natural habitat. Native to west central and east Africa, this arboreal primate thrives in troops led by one dominant male accompanied by several females. With a body length of approximately 60 centimetres (excluding its long tail visible on the lower right), this herbivorous creature relies on fruits, flowers, and seeds for sustenance. The image beautifully illustrates the intricate biological details of this ethereal species found within Ethiopian wildlife. Its expressive eyes seem to reflect both curiosity and tranquility as it finds solace amidst nature's embrace. Photographed by Brian Gadsby for Science Photo Library, this remarkable shot not only highlights the unique features of the mantled guereza but also serves as a reminder of Africa's rich biodiversity. It is an ode to primatology enthusiasts who appreciate these magnificent creatures' contribution to our understanding of zoology and mammalian behavior.
