De Brazza's Monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus) is an Old World monkey that gets its name from French explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza. Locally known as swamp monkeys, they are often found in wetlands in central Africa. They are very hard to find due to their good hiding abilities, and so there is not an accurate species count.
