Colubus at Nyungwe, Rwanda (1 Viewer)

Am I correct in assigning them as Colubus angolensis ruwenzorii?

Also the Tree Hyrax we were lucky to see in Uganda at Mabira, I assume they're Southern?

Hippos in Rwanda at Akagera, Great Northern H a amphibius?

Many thanks for any help.

The Colobus subspecies should be correct.

Both Southern and Western tree hyrax occur in Uganda west of the Nile, with Western tree hyrax on lower elevations than Southern. But pictures or voice recordings would be necessary for reliable ID...

Hippo subspecies are probably invalid anyway, neither Kingdon nor Groves recognizes them, but if you insist it should indeed be the nominate.

Thanks T.O, we do have a shot of the Hyrax, I'll post it when the photos get sorted.

Thanks again
