Black-and-white colobus are the Old World monkeys which bear a striking resemblance to skunks. They are of the genus Colobus and are closely related to the red colobus monkeys of genus Piliocolobus. The word "colobus" comes from Greekekolobóse "he cut short" and is so named because its thumb is a stump.
The fl-and-white colobus monkey is recognized for its distinctive fur, especially the long white hair which hangs from its shoulders and at the end of its tail.
Colobus monkeys have communal marriages, which means that the male mates with any of the females in the troop.
Colobus monkeys are not considered threatened, but like most primates, as their habitat is destroyed and they are hunted, they will be in more danger.
