Four Eyes

This is a Mangabey from the San Diego Zoo. Mangabeys are some of the most rare and endangered monkeys on Earth. These large, forest-living monkeys are found only in Africa. They look somewhat like guenons but are bigger. Local people call some of them “the ones with the thin waist” or “four-eyed monkeys” because some mangabey species have bright white eyelids.
