Nairobi, Kenya (CNN) -- Scientists are claiming they have discovered a new species of monkey living in the remote forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo -- an animal well-known to local hunters but until now, unknown to the outside world.

In a paper published Wednesday in the open-access journal Plos One, the scientists describe the new species that they call Cercopithecus Lomamiensis, known locally as the Lesula, whose home is deep in central DR Congo's Lomami forest basin. The scientists say it is only the second discovery of a monkey species in 28 years.

"Discovered" by the scientific community just in time to be put on the endangered species list.

It has a blue ass and blue balls.

Looks like that Wolowitz dude from the big bang theory. Kinda cool.

I don't know when I saw this creature I could just picture it speaking some aristocratic philosophy or something.

Ugly as fuck, don't waste time saving THAT species!

This really gave me a shudder when I saw it yesterday on the news. No one else think those eyes have a real human quality? Heaven knows what some crazy scientists have been experimenting with, it would not surprise me at all. Had many mental dreams about part human/part animal things, like a human dog boy & monkey like creatures that were just totally & completely tormented beings. I didn't like those dreams...that's why this image really creeps me out. The mind boggles indeed!

Don't forget it was some crazy scientists who found this little chap, and some crazy scientiusts who wrote about him, some crazy scientists categorised him and named him.

We are not all crazy!

That's not a monkey, that's my uncle!

Man,

I can't even begin to remember when was the last time I found a monkey.
I'm just going to have to finally confront the fact that I'm spending way too much time on wasteful shit.

Like downloading massive amounts of onion-booty porn, putting up girlfight videos on the ol' youtube & just plain emptily commiseratin' with all you blasted orgers.

Goddamn internet.

what about the one you just finished spanking?

wording like discovered 'new species' always makes me laugh

more like discovered an 'old species'

it's obviously not some new kind of monkey

there are other species around the world that resemble it, looks like its from the baboon/Mandrill family. I think those are some of the most interesting and good looking. Apes can be really ugly and beat up looking

Those eyes remind me of lemurs.
