'Dracula' monkey comes back from the dead in Borneo

An 'extinct' monkey has been rediscovered in the rainforest of Borneo by an international team of scientists on a new expedition.

One of the rarest and least known primates in the world, Miller's Grizzled Langur, has been found alive - it was thought the species had been wiped out in 2004. The species has a distinctive dark face and white, Dracula-esque 'collar' of fur.

Some of the only photos in existence of the rare animal were snapped by camera traps and have provided the first solid evidence that it is still alive.
