Diana Guenon Monkey Cercopithecus diana

An Old World monkey found in the high canopy forests in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and western Côte d'Ivoire, named for its white brow which is said to resemble the bow of the Roman goddess Diana.

Diana monkeys retreat to the upper levels of the trees at night, though they do not make nests, preferring to sleep on branches. They feed mainly on fruit, blossoms and leaves, as well as occasional insects and invertebrates.
