The black-and-white colobus is native in west central and east Africa. The mantled guereza lives in social groups of three to fifteen individuals. These groups normally include a dominant male, several females, and the offspring of the females. Although previously thought only to eat leaves, it also eats seeds, fruits, and arthropods.
