The Study of Wild Putty-Nosed Monkeys
Taking a look at a population of putty-nosed monkeys (Cercopithecus nictitans), the scientists discovered that females would make use of specific calls to target just the males, who would rush in like hired guns to protect the females from predators.
The research team, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society s (WCS) Congo Program and the Nouabalé-Ndoki Foundation, viewed 19 different groups of wild putty-nosed monkeys for the study. Each was discovered within Mbeli Bai, a designated region for research that stays within the forests in Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, Northern Republic of Congo.
