Preuss's Monkey

The Preuss's Monkey (Allochrocebus preussi) is a species of Old World monkey living in various regions in southwest Cameroon and southeast Nigeria and in Equatorial Guinea. This species is comprised of two subspecies: the Cameroon Preuss's monkey (A. p. preussi) found on the mainland and the Bioko Preuss's monkey (A. p. insularis) found only on Bioko Island, in Equatorial Guinea.

With an average of 79 to 345 inches (2,000 to 9,000 mm) of rainfall annually, Preuss's monkeys live in some of the wettest places in Africa. They are most abundant in montane and sub-montane forests, at least 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) above sea level and are rarely found below 2,600 feet (800 meters). As such, they are found with some certainty in the Cameroon Highlands and along the slopes of Mount Cameroon. Some populations live in various and isolated forest patches within montane grasslands as well. The subspecies on Bioko Island is particularly fond of the Schleffera forests found around Pico Basilé, the island's highest point, and in the Gran Caldera Scientific Reserve.
