Green Monkey

Description:

The green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus), also known as the Callithrix monkey, is an Old World monkey with golden-green fur and pale hands and feet. The tip of the tail is golden yellow as are the backs of the thighs and cheek whiskers. It does not have a distinguishing band of fur on the brow, like other Chlorocebus species, and males have a pale blue scrotum. Some authorities consider this and all of the members of the genus Chlorocebus to be a single widespread species, Cercopithecus aethiops — confusingly, the name "green monkey" has also been used for this single species.

Habitat:

Bijilo National Park

Notes:

I have dated the description. This was taken at the Bijilo National Park. Nice little park. The hotels that are close by to this park have these monkeys in them as well. They come over to visit and look for food.
