Campbell's mona monkey (Cercopithecus campbelli), also known as Campbell's guenon and Campbell's monkey, is a species of primate in the Cercopithecidae family. It is found in Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.[2]
2009 studies have suggested that this species has one of the more advanced forms of animal communication, with a rudimentary syntax.[3][4][5]
Lowe's mona monkey was previously considered a subspecies of Campbell's mona monkey.
