The Roloway Monkey is the ancient species of Old World Monkey. This endangered monkey is generally found in Cote dlvoire and also at the forest of Ghana.
The Guenons species and the Roloway monkey are of similar kind but the Roloway monkey has lengthy beard. This strange monkey’s coat and face are chiefly black. But the throat and the interior part of the monkey are white in color. Its haunches and back are of orange color.
Its heights generally fluctuate between 40 and 55 centimeter and its weight also oscillates between 4 and 7 kilograms.
This special monkey generally lives in trees that mean they are arboreal. This monkey remains in a group of 15 to 30 individual’s monkey. Like all other monkey, Roloway monkey also communicates through vocal sound. The Roloway monkey’s life span generally oscillates between 20 and 30 years. This monkey eats fruit, flower, seeds and insects too.
Within the past 100 years Ghana’s 80% forest has been cut down. This is one of the causes of extinction of this species. The IUCN has declared the species as the most endangered animals. The exact figure of this monkey is no more in this Universe. A recent survey proves that it was probably eliminated between mid 1970s and 1990 from Ghana’s Bia National Park. This species is listed as “the world’s 25th most endangered primates”.
