It is uncertain whether this species is monogamous or polyandrous. Range length 97 to 147 cm 38.19 to 57.87 inįemale western red colobus monkeys choose which male(s) with which to mate, as they migrate from group to group.( Beacham and Beetz, 1998a Beacham and Beetz, 1998b Kuhn, 1971 McGraw, 2005 Oates, et al., 2000 Richardson, 2005 Stanford, 1998) waldroni possess more red on their outer thighs and forehead than P.b. badius exhibit black foreheads and outer thighs, and they also possess an exterior nose elevetaed on a well padded base. waldroni, and each are slightly different in physical appearance. There are three subspecies of Pilliocolobus badius, P.b. In addition, male and female juvenile western red colobus exhibit similar genital swellings as mature females, and juvenile males do not yet show evidence of a penis or scrotum. They also have long fingers for grasping branches. Western red colobus do not have a thumb, but rather have a bump in their place. Their pubic area is surrounded by white fur. Their body is brown, grey or black in color, and their head and appendages are chestnut or red in color. Western red colobus are 45 to 67 cm in length, and their tail is an additional 52 to 80cm long. Males weigh between 9.1 kg and 12.2 kg, whereas females weigh between 6.8 kg and 9.1 kg. Western red colobus are sexually dimorphic, and adult females are slightly smaller than adult males. Range elevation 0 (low) m 0.00 (low) ft.( Beacham and Beetz, 1998a Beacham and Beetz, 1998b Bshary and Noe, 1997a Bshary and Noe, 1997b Galat-Luong and Galat, 2005 Oates, et al., 2008 Richardson, 2005) waldroni inhabits dense, tall canopied forests. Temmincki resides in mountain forests and tropical rain forests and are also adapted to the dry forests of Senegal. Western red colobus monkeys spend most of their time in the third or fourth strata (20 to 30m). Western red colobus are found in old growth rain forests at all levels of the canopy, from the ground to stratum 5 of the tree canopy, which is the tops of developing trees greater than 40m above ground. ( Oates, et al., 2008 Bshary and Noe, 1997a Bshary and Noe, 1997b Galat-Luong and Galat, 2005 Oates, et al., 2008 Richardson, 2005 Struhsaker, 2005) temminiki, Temminck's red colobus, is native to Senegal and is scattered through Guinea, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. waldroni, Miss Waldron's red colobus, is native to eastern Cote d’Ivoire and western Ghana. badius, bay red colobus, is native to Cote d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Liberia. More research is needed to get a more accurate estimate of the remaining population and to better understand the behavior of this species.Western red colobus monkeys are found in western Africa. While these conservation groups are integral to the survival of Preuss’s red colobus monkeys, there is no such group solely dedicated to saving the species. The plan’s goal is to unite and mobilize conservation groups, communities, governments, zoos and wildlife centers, and other institutions to help protect red colobuses from extinction. ReCAP is a joint effort of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group and the African Primatological Society. The Red Colobus Action Plan (ReCAP)-the first action plan to target an entire group of African monkeys-was presented at the 2018 International Primatological Society Congress in Kenya.

Their mission is to educate communities about the fragility of ecosystems and the urgent need to conserve the habitats where Preuss’s red colobus monkeys and other wildlife call home. In Cameroon, The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund is working to increase conservation knowledge through rural and urban conservation outreach programming. Since humans are the biggest threat to Preuss’s red colobus monkeys, education is crucial to conservation.
