The moustached guenon or moustached monkey (Cercopithecus cephus) is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon.[2]
This monkey is an arboreal, omnivorous, and medium-sized mammal.[4] According to the IUCN, the population of the moustached monkeys is considered to be large;[2] therefore, they are widely used in biological labs.[5][6][7][8][9]
