MBEGA (COLOBUS MONKEY).
Mbega ni kima wa
nusufamilia Colobinae
katika familia Cercopithecidae. Wanatokea Afrika na Asia. Spishi nyingi
huishi mitini lakini
spishi nyingine huishi savana zenye miti na hata mijini. Vidole gumba vya spishi za
Afrika vimekuwa vigutu pengine ili kurahisisha kwenda katika miti. Mbega hula majani, maua na matunda, pengine wadudu na wanyama
wadogo.
Bega wanapatikana hata katika safu za milima ya uluguru, lakini wanauwawa sana na wakazi wanaoishi karibu na safu za milima hii.
