The golden-bellied mangabey (Cercocebus chrysogaster) is an Endangered Old World monkey found in swampy, humid forests south of the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the agile mangabey (C. agilis).
<blockquote>[W]hile individuals form friendships, they also irritate each other by snatching food, accidentally stepping on tails, and insisting on trying to groom newborn infants (which annoys the mom). They make up by grooming and playing. (Food sharing is rarely observed in most cercopithecine monkeys.)
Little else has been published about the species and its behaviour has mostly been studied in captivity.
