Japanese: マンガベイ - まんがべい(英語表記)mangabey
Mangabey - Mangabey (English spelling)
An Old World monkey belonging to the Cercocebus genus of the Cercopithecidae family of primates. It has a slender body with a head and body length of 45-60 cm and a tail length of 60-90 cm, and can skillfully move its tail. It is characterized by its white eyelids. Mangabey is the name of a region in Madagascar, and Buffon mistakenly gave this monkey a name from there. There are several different types of mangabeys, including the sooty mangabey C. atys , the agile mangabey C. galeritus , the white-necked mangabey C. torquatus , the white-capped mangabey C. albigena (illustration), and the pointed mangabey C. aterrimus , but the classification is still fluid.
