Monkey Re-Discovered

Summary: Brent Loken, a PhD student and Simon Fraser University, was on an adventure to capture photos of the Bornean Clouded Leopard in Borneo. He got photos of the leopard and also photos of a monkey he did not recognize. Him and his team reviewed the photos multiple times and found out it was a Miller's Grizzled Langur, one of the rarest and least known primates, thought to be extinct. Now teams are going out to Borneo to find the magnificent creature.

Impact: Researchers can now find out if this species will be going extinct soon.

Critique: I find this interesting and I will be waiting for more news on it.
