Vervet monkey in Acacia tree Earlier this week I posted a closeup of the thorns of an Acacia tree, which look incredibly hostile to anything living. The question was asked, what could possibly live in there? The answer is all kinds of animals, such as this vervet monkey, birds, and giraffes feeding on their leaves.

The Vervet monkey

The vervet monkey, or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa. The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus "Chlorocebus". The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries.
