Scientists have documented a new primate in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s rainforest. The monkey has striking orange lips and produces a frog‑like roar and pig-like snort. Researchers say the creature’s concealed fur helps it evade detection in dense vegetation. Fieldworkers described the animal as intentionally ‘hiding’ in open sight across its habitat. The team collected vocal recordings and analyzed morphological features before designating the species. Deforestation and urban expansion now rapidly threaten the delicate gorilla habitat where the monkey was found.
