Description:

The monkey was very friendly and let us come near it. It was about 4 kg. It had a black face and used his arms to hang around trees. It shout while going from one tree to another. It could camouflage itself very well

I found it in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Thanks for your suggestion Daniel.
Hi there! This species is not native to Africa. Please indicate in your notes whether it was seen captivity. You can also join the Captive animals mission (which you'll find under global missions), and add this spotting to it. Thanks!
