The current distribution of Campbell’s monkeys Cercopithecus campbelli extends from southwestern Gambia to the western Ivory Coast. In Senegal, it has only been confirmed in the western part of the country. Here, we report for the first time its presence in southeastern Senegal. We obtained camera trap footage of a Campbell’s monkey individual in the Dindefelo Community Nature Reserve located in Kedougou region, 174 km away from its known distribution range. In the footage, a single Campbell’s monkey appears alongside a group of at least nine green monkeys Chlorocebus sabaeus. We discuss different hypotheses that could explain the presence of the Campbell’s monkey in Dindefelo, and conclude that this individual may be a single migrant.
