Red colobus monkeys are also found in East Africa but are quite rare. Two other types of colobus monkeys in Africa are the black and the olive.

Challenges
editHunting led to the colobus’s extermination in some areas.
At one time, the colobus was hunted excessively for its beautiful fur. Its skin has been used to make dance costumes, hats, and capes. The biggest threat to the colobus today is habitat loss.
