vervet monkey

Vervet monkeys are considered the most mischievous monkeys in the world!

Vervet monkeys are found in southern and eastern Africa living on the African savanna.  This species is mainly active by day, and feeds on a wide range of items, including fruit, seeds, buds, leaves, roots and grasses, as well as insects, crustaceans, birds’ eggs and chicks, and other small vertebrates, such as lizards . The vervet will also bite into and chew trees such as acacias, to feed on the sap.
