Maximum longevity: 30 years (captivity) Observations: Although there are anecdotal reports suggesting that these animals live over 30 years, the record longevity in captivity belongs to one wild born specimen of the *lowei* subspecies that was about 30 years old when it died in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005).

Campbell's mona monkey (Cercopithecus campbelli), also known as Campbell's guenon and Campbell's monkey, is a species of primate in the Cercopithecidae family. It is found in Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.[2]

2009 studies have suggested that this species has one of the more advanced forms of animal communication, with a rudimentary syntax.[3][4][5]
