Re-Discovered Monkey Species

Summary:A camera setup by Brent Loken, captured an image of a race of monkeys that really weren't known to the natives of this island, Borneo. Brent is a PhD at the Simon Fraser University, and was hoping to capture an image of the Clouded Leopard when his camera showed images of a species of monkey unknown to him. He got a picture of "Miller's Grizzled Langur". Most people on the island who knew of these monkeys thought thought they were extinct or very close to being extinct.
Impact: This impacts scientific research and the island in which the Monkeys live.
Critique:I like monkeys and a species thought to be extinct now re-discovered was a cool thing to me i guess.
