Masked Monkeys
Punkish crests, bandit masks and orange noses are the disguises of guenons - an extraordinary group of African forest monkeys.
Intriguingly, their colourful faces and rumps and their haunting trills and hoots are an evolutionary puzzle.
Theirs was an ancient take-over bid for the tree-tops of Africa's tropical forest.
But who is really top of the primate tree - them or us? Artist and zoologist
Jonathan Kingdon looks at the forest monkeys and apes, including the chimpanzee, and unravels the mystery of who comes first.
