It is often hunted by the common chimpanzee. In 1994, western red colobus monkeys infected many chimpanzees with Ebola virus when they were hunted/eaten by the same chimpanzees.〔(Ebola Cote d'Ivoire Outbreaks )〕 ==Subspecies== This red colobus has three subspecies, including the nominate:〔 *Bay red colobus, ''Procolobus badius badius'' *Temminck's red colobus, ''Procolobus badius temminckii'' *Miss Waldron's red colobus, ''Procolobus badius waldronae'' ''P. b. waldronae'' is critically endangered, possibly even extinct.
