在非洲剛果(金)，一種新型的猴種被研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)
A new species of monkey has been identified in Africa, researchers have said.
研究者稱，在非洲辨別出了一種新型種類的猴子。
The species, known locally as the Lesula, was discovered after a young female was seen being kept captive at the home of a primary school director in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2007.
這種被稱為“Lesula”的猴子是在剛果民主共和國的一位小學(xué)主任家中發(fā)現(xiàn)的。
The young animal resembled an owl-faced monkey, but its colouring was different to that of any known species, the researchers writing in the journal PLoS ONE said.
這只年輕的動物與貓頭鷹般臉的猴子相似，那它的顏色與已知物種的顏色卻有所不同，研究者在《科學(xué)公共圖書館》雜志上如是寫道。
Other wild Lesula have since been found in a remote range in central Democratic Republic of Congo, where they live in forests and feed on leaf stalks, fruit and flower buds.
其他野生的“Lesula”也陸續(xù)在剛果(金)偏遠的山脈地區(qū)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，他們生活在森林中，以葉柄、水果和花蕾為食。
The discovery of the new species, in one of the country's last unexplored forest areas, is only the second time a new monkey species has been found in Africa in the last 28 years.
這種新種類的猴子發(fā)現(xiàn)于本國最后一片未開發(fā)的林業(yè)區(qū)域中，是非洲過去28年中第二次發(fā)現(xiàn)新的猴子品種。
Although the 6,500 square mile area in which the shy Lesula is found is remote and sparsely populated, the researchers warn the monkey is vulnerable to extinction as a result of hunting.
雖然發(fā)現(xiàn)膽怯的“Lesula”的6500英里區(qū)域偏遠且人口稀疏，但是研究者警告稱捕獵會使該種猴類變得容易滅絕。
They called for controls on hunting and the creation of a protected area covering its range to conserve the Lesula and other wildlife found in the region.
他們號召控制捕獵，創(chuàng)造一個覆蓋該區(qū)域的保護區(qū)來保護包括“Lesula”在內(nèi)的野生動物。
Researcher John Hart said: "The challenge for conservation now in Congo is to intervene before losses become definitive.
研究者約翰哈特說：“目前剛果(金)在(野生動植物)保護方面的挑戰(zhàn)是，在損失成為既定現(xiàn)實前插手干預(yù)此事�！�
"Species with small ranges like the Lesula can move from vulnerable to seriously endangered over the course of just a few years."
“像Lesula一樣小范圍的種群能在很短的幾年內(nèi)從易受侵害變成嚴重的瀕危。”
最后附加一句我自己的：我覺得這長得有點像那誰來著？
悟空？拉登的轉(zhuǎn)世靈猴狒狒?猴子？
傻傻搞不清楚猴哥，出來看耶穌了
這是狒狒么- -
猴哥，出來看耶穌了
尼古拉斯凱奇？

真的有點像。
像爆了好么，深眼眶、圓眼睛、長鼻子、長臉、薄嘴唇~
