Largest Colobus troop (1 Viewer)

Here's a shot I took in Rwanda of just part of a troop said to number around 500 individuals, making it the largest known troop of Black and White Colubus.

Some, recognise five species of Black and White Colbus, under that treament, these would be Angola Colobus Colubus angolensis which in turn has six sub-species, this being Adolf Friedrichs's Angola Colobus Colobus. a. ruwenzorii , alternatively known as Ruwenzori Black and White Colobus.

We were not lucky enough to see them but in the same area, we heard the excited calls of Chimpanzee, our guide said they were gearing up to hunt the Colobus.
