Our group of L`Hoest`s monkeys is made up of male Jamal meaning handsome, who was born here in August 2014 and three females, Tumbili and younger females Sheli and Tala, who both arrived from Ménagerie du Jardin des plantes in Paris in 2018. Breeding Programme Category The L`Hoest`s monkeys are part of the the European Endangered Species Programme which is managed by Edinburgh Zoo. In the wild The L’Hoest’s monkey Allochrocebus lhoesti can be found in small areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. They can be found in a range of different kinds of forested areas, including gallery forest, mature lowland rain forests, wooded savannah at mountain slopes, and forest borders. L’Hoest’s monkeys have a short, brown coat with a reddish-brown colour across the back and dark brown or black underparts. They have a white chin ruff, or “beard,” and white patches under their eyes. They live in groups that are dominated by females. There is usually only one male in a group, but sometimes more than one male will be included. If this is the case, there is competition for dominance between the males. Only one male is allowed to mate with all of the females.
