Angolan colobus monkeys (Colobus angolensis) are adapted for a life in the trees. They are great leapers, able to cover more than 30 feet at a time to get from tree to tree. Having no thumbs, an oddity among primates, allows them to shape their fingers into a swinging hook. Facts*Pronunciation: KAHL-uh-bus
