New monkey species with massive blue arse found in Africa
Yes, that IS the headline. Say hello to Cercopithecus lomamiensis, the first new monkey species to be found in Africa in 28 years. Which has an interesting feature, as the article states:
Just what it says on the tin. A monkey with a fuck-off huge blue arse.The lesula, which is the first new monkey found in Africa for 28 years, is remarkable in particular for its vibrant colouring. It has a pink face, golden throat, massive whiskers and a vertical white stripe up its nose, which gives it some resemblance to the already well known owl-faced monkey.
Perhaps the major claim to fame of the lesula, however, is its enormous blue arse. The discovering scientific team describe this feature thus:
The blue perineum, buttocks and scrotum displayed by adult males are comparable in size and coloration in C lomamiensis and C hamlyni, and are more extensive than genital patches in any other Cercopithecus. It is comparable in extent to the buttocks and genital patch displayed in adult male mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx).
The lesula's blue buttocks, then, are not merely bigger than those of any other monkey in its family: they are such as to rival the enormous and glaring posterior of the Mandrill, the largest monkey in the world.
