Vervet Monkey

Author: BigCatKeeper

The different types of vervets vary in colour, but generally the body is a greenish olive or silvery grey. The face, ears, hands, feet & tip of the tail are black, but an obvious white band on the forehead blends in with the short whiskers. The males are slightly larger than females and are easily recognized by their turquoise blue scrota.

The vervet is classified as a medium-sized to large monkey. Its tail is usually held up, with the tip curving down. Arms & legs are approximately the same length.
