<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p><em>Allenopithecus</em>,
the swamp monkey, is a medium-sized cercopithecine found in western and
central Africa. It lives in flooded forests, and eats primarily
fruits. Little is known about its natural behaviors. Skeletally,
several researchers have suggested this species is perhaps the most
primitive cercopithecine.</p>
