Sclater's Guenon (Cercopithecus sclateri), also known as Sclater's Monkey and White-throated Guenon, are diurnal primates that live on trees of rainforests or tropical areas of Nigeria and Benin. It should not be confused with the closely related and similarly named species, the White-throated Guenon (Cercopithecus erythrogaster). Also, it is sometimes classified as a subspecies of the Red-eared Guenon (C. erythrotis). The diet of Sclater's Guenon is unknown, but it is likely to be primarily a frugivore that supplements its diet with other plant parts and insects, based upon other closely related species. Also, related species live in troops of 4-30 members. The conservation status of a species is an indicator of the likelihood of that species continuing to survive. ...

The male weighs from 3-4kg and the female weighs 2.5-3.5kg. The female gives birth to one offspring, which is a factor of decreasing population. Sclater's Guenon was thought to be extinct until 1988. Five discrete populations exist, living in Nigeria scatter along the Niger River and its delta. Two of these populations live near towns that consider them sacred creatures. The other three populations are heavily hunted. Each of the protected populations consist of about 250 individuals. Sclater's Guenons are still considered endangared species near extinction due to their decreasing population. Today, their territory is protected and regarded as a holy land, where hunting and logging is restricted. It is one of the species that live in the Guinean Forests of West Africa Biodiversity Hotspot. 1988 is a leap year starting on a Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
