DIANA MONKEYS {Cercopithecus Diana) 



These pretty little animals are characteristic members of the 

 West African fauna, and belong to the group of Guenons {Cerco- 

 pithecus). The white beard and white crescent on the forehead 

 are distinctive features, the latter having been fancifully compared 

 to " Dian's bow ", hence the popular and specific names. Diana 

 monkeys are typical tree-forms, living in communities and, being 

 gentle easily-tamed creatures, have always been favourite pets.
