The Angolan black and white colobus monkey has black hair with a
white brow band, cheeks, and throat. Long haired white
epaulettes stream from the shoulders. The lower part of the tail
is white as is the band on the buttocks. This subspecies,
palliatus, is only found in the south eastern Kenya and Tanzania
coastal forests and the Tanzanian eastern arc mountains of the
East and West Usambaras, South Pares, Nguru, Nguu and Uluguru
Mountains. Although the palliatus were previously found along
the entire coast, deforestation and hunting in the northern
parts have resulted in their restriction to isolated pockets of
forests south of Mombasa. Travelling further inland, the Guereza
black and white colobus occur. These are much bigger, have
longer coats, have a full cape of white hair around their backs
and full bushy white tail. Here in Diani there are approximately
450 colobus monkeys identified from the annual census, carried
out every October - the second highest known concentration of
this subspecies in Kenya. O
