Cercocebus, the fascinating genus of primates, encompasses various species that captivate our attention with their unique characteristics and behaviors. At London Zoo, a keeper gently cradles Freckles, a Black Crested or Congo Mangabey. With its striking appearance and endearing nature, Freckles captures the hearts of visitors. In another heartwarming scene at London Zoo, a young Chimpanzee playfully puts his arm around a Mangabey under mistletoe. This display of affection reminds us of the close bonds these intelligent creatures form within their social groups. Among the Cercocebus species is the Collared mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus), known for its distinctive collar-like markings around its neck. Its elegant presence in the wild showcases nature's artistic touch. The White-eyelid mangabey also belongs to this diverse genus. Cercocebus species exhibit remarkable adaptability across different habitats and ecosystems. Delving deeper into history, an old map from 1897 reveals the distribution of various primate species including Cercocebus alongside Macacus monkeys. This snapshot offers insights into how these primates have evolved and spread across regions over time. Another member of this intriguing group is the Sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys). Its dark fur contrasts beautifully against lush green surroundings as it navigates through its natural habitat with agility and grace. Let's not forget about our playful friend, the Green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus). Although not directly related to Cercocebus species, it shares similarities in behavior and serves as a reminder of nature's interconnectedness. Lastly, we encounter a Grey-cheeked Mangabey (Lophocebus albigena) perched on a tree branch in Uganda's Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary.
