The vervet monkey inhabits eastern and southern Africa. It uses savannas, open forests and woodland edges, including near fields. Trees provide shelter and resting places, while open ground permits feeding.
Its menu includes leaves, fruit, seeds, flowers and plant gums. It supplements this with small animals and near crops may use cultivated plants. Food diversity helps it exploit seasonally changing resources. Animals move between feeding sites on the ground and in trees.
Social contact is an important part of daily life. Mutual grooming and signals help maintain relationships and respond to threats. The female usually gives birth to one infant, initially staying close to her. It gradually explores the surroundings and other individuals, gaining independence.
