Name: Miss Waldrons Red Colobus Monkey

Description: -

Reason for being extinct: As a specialist in the high-canopy zone, Miss Waldon's red colobus suffered from intense deforestation across an already limited range in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Relentless poaching pressure for the bush meat trade apparently eliminated the last survivors of what, at the time of its discovery in 1933, was a thriving and vigorous species.

Fossils??: None.
