South Africa, Kruger National Park, extraordinary, iconic and steeped in legend and history; with vast landscapes, multiple eco-zones, and spectacular African wildlife. Our vervet, part of a larger troop, is dining on these exquisite red-orange flowers. The Vervets' diet tend to be omnivorous, feeding on fruit, flowers, leaves and insects, which constitutes the bulk of their diet. The vervets are among the few mammals with color vision, which allows vervet monkeys to distinguish between green and ripe fruit.
The vervet monkey is common throughout South Africa, and occurs wherever there is a sufficient density of tall trees and the availability of permanent surface water. Vervets are highly social animals, and occur in well organized troops. |
