Vervet monkey, Blouaap (Cercopithecus aethiops) found at Tembe Elephant Park.  The vervet monkey is a nervy, excitable creature that turns extremely shy if persecuted. Most like: Samango monkey but vervet is slighter , with paler, shorter coat and clack, not brown, face.  In captivity as in the wild, vervets sleep together in groups of two or three. Like baboons, they live in tightly knit troops of 15-20, dominated by a mature male.
