(eds) 2005. ''Mammal species of the world''. 3rd ed, Johns Hopkins University Press, 168. {{ISBN|0-801-88221-4}}</ref> They have no [[thumb]]s, which is not normal among [[primate]]s. This allows them to shape their fingers into a winging hook. They eat leaves, fruit, and seeds. == Appearance == Angolan colobus monkeys have glossy, black [[fur]] covers much of the body, but contrasts with short, white hair surrounding the face, a u-shaped, cape-like mantle of long white hair that extends down the shoulders and across the lower back, and a bushy white tuft to the tip of the [[tail]]. Colobus monkeys typically can weigh 2 lbs and grow over 2 feet long. Their lifespan is 20 to 30 years in the wild. == Habitat and distribution == Colobus monkeys live in the trees of the [[Africa]]n [[savannah]] and tropical forests. == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Mammals of Africa]] [[Category:Old World monkeys]]
