Illustration of what a red colobus monkey might look like.Anthropologist Scott McGraw declared the red colobus monkey extinct in 2000, but new findings suggest otherwise. Reportedly last seen in 1978, evidence of the red colobus has turned up, including a photograph of a dead one, the tail of a red colobus, and the skin of one killed by a hunter. On hearing the news McGraw reportedly exclaimed, "Monkey outta nowhere!"
