Scientists have identified a new primate in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s rainforest. The monkey has vivid orange lips and produces a frog-like roar and snort‑like snort. Researchers say the creature’s cryptic fur helps it avoid detection in lush vegetation. Fieldworkers described the animal as deliberately ‘hiding’ in open sight across its habitat. The team collected vocal recordings and analyzed physical features before classifying the species. Deforestation and urban expansion now increasingly threaten the vulnerable gorilla habitat where the monkey was found.
