在非洲刚果(金)，一种新型的猴种被研究者发现
A new species of monkey has been identified in Africa, researchers have said.
研究者称，在非洲辨别出了一种新型种类的猴子。
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.
这种被称为“Lesula”的猴子是在刚果民主共和国的一位小学主任家中发现的。
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.
这只年轻的动物与猫头鹰般脸的猴子相似，那它的颜色与已知物种的颜色却有所不同，研究者在《科学公共图书馆》杂志上如是写道。
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”也陆续在刚果(金)偏远的山脉地区被发现，他们生活在森林中，以叶柄、水果和花蕾为食。
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.
这种新种类的猴子发现于本国最后一片未开发的林业区域中，是非洲过去28年中第二次发现新的猴子品种。
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.
虽然发现胆怯的“Lesula”的6500英里区域偏远且人口稀疏，但是研究者警告称捕猎会使该种猴类变得容易灭绝。
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.
他们号召控制捕猎，创造一个覆盖该区域的保护区来保护包括“Lesula”在内的野生动物。
Researcher John Hart said: "The challenge for conservation now in Congo is to intervene before losses become definitive.
研究者约翰哈特说：“目前刚果(金)在(野生动植物)保护方面的挑战是，在损失成为既定现实前插手干预此事。”
"Species with small ranges like the Lesula can move from vulnerable to seriously endangered over the course of just a few years."
“像Lesula一样小范围的种群能在很短的几年内从易受侵害变成严重的濒危。”
最后附加一句我自己的：我觉得这长得有点像那谁来着？
悟空？拉登的转世灵猴狒狒?猴子？
傻傻搞不清楚猴哥，出来看耶稣了
