Photo[edit]

I recently got a good shot at a Blue Monkey in Tanzania:

Any interest in adding it to the article?

careful; taxonomy[edit]

When adding info to this article, be careful with the taxonomy. For example, I've just removed a photo of a Sykes' Monkey, the currently featured map includes the range of several relatives, and this species, contrary to what the previous version said, is not restricted to rainforest and montane bamboo forests. In fact, they can be found in a wide range of forest, even fairly dry, as long as it is evergreen (notice for example that the currently featured photo, linked above, is from Lake Manyara - you'd be hard pressed to find any rainforest or monetane bamboo forest there). 212.10.79.62 (talk) 02:09, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Same problem with fur-length, which - as could be expected from a species with both highland and lowland populations - is highly variable. See e.g. Collins Field Guide to Mammals of Africa including Madagascar (Diller and Haltenorth, 1980). 212.10.79.62 (talk) 07:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All five categories are fairly short, but the social structure category is the best developed. In this category, there is a brief discussion of cooperation where young females help care for infant that are not theirs. The information in the reproduction section is mostly redundant with the information contained in the social structure category, so the two should be combined to form one category. Another option would be to add more information about gestation and development that would help the reproduction category stand on its own. Additionally, there is no reference to conservation issues except for a couple sentences in the habitat category. Gabriel.hassler (talk) 22:23, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
