Summary: When Brent Loken was in the rainforest, hoping to capture photographs of the Bornean clouded leopard, when he made the discovery of a lifetime. They actually captured images of an animal they did not recognize, the Miller's grizzled langur. This primate is one of the least known and rarest of it's kind.
Critique: This is exciting, as researchers may now know the geological location and can study the animal and it's habits.
Impact: Hopefully there will be more interest in conservation of the rainforest, as this monkey was previously thought to be extinct.
