Roloway’s Monkeys live in groups of about 15 with one adult male and several females with their young.
 
As the species is extremely rare and difficult to observe in its natural habitat, it is not fully understood. It is highly endangered by the destruction of its natural habitat and through the illegal hunt for bush-meat.
