De Brazza's monkey

De Brazza's monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus) is an Old World monkey endemic to the wetlands of central Africa. It is one of the most widespread African primates that live in forests.Locally known as swamp monkeys, these primates are named after the Italian-French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza.There have been no reports of the lifespan of De Brazza's monkey in the wild, but it is thought to correspond similarly to other members of Cercopithecus which live up to 30 years in captivity. It is a shy, territorial monkey that lives in small social groups. At the head of each social group is the strongest male, whose job is to protect his fellow group members.
