The kipunji[1] (Rungwecebus kipunji), also called the highland mangabey, is an Old World monkey inhabiting the upland forests of Tanzania.
- Sexual dimorphism is not apparent from adult coat color. In general, the fur is relatively long, which may be an adaptation to the low temperatures of the Rungwe-Livingstone forest.
- The back is light to medium brown, while the center of the abdomen is whitish. The center of the tail is also whitish at the tip end.
- The lower front legs are dark brown to black, and the hands and feet are black. The long, wide crest of hair along the Crown is a unique feature.
- The eyes are brown, but the eyelids are black with the rest of the face. The muzzle is relatively long with elongated whiskers.
