Scientists rediscovered a large grey monkey-the Miller’s grizzled langur- in the dense jungles of Indonesia. The monkey was believed to be extinct. The monkey has black face framed by a fluffy, Dracula-esque white collar. It has hooded eyes and a pinkish nose and lips. The animal one roamed the north-eastern part of Borneo, as well as the islands of Java and Sumatra and the Thai-Malay peninsula.
The area once the habitat of these monkeys had been destroyed by human encroachment, conversion of land for agriculture and mining and fires.
