A vulnerable and federally endangered red-capped mangabey (Cercocebus torquatus) run by ONG Animal’s World in Libreville, Gabon. This 8 month-old-female was rescued by the ONG as a very small, dehydrated baby. Her mother was killed by hunters. She is now very healthy and soon to be reintroduced at the park. The species is more and more endangered by deforestation and poaching.
