The greater spot-nosed monkey[1] (Cercopithecus nictitans), also called the greater white-nosed monkey, putty-nosed monkey, and white-nosed guenons, is among the smallest Old-World Monkeys.
- Cercopithecus nictitans is most easily identified by a prominent white patch covering the nose. Their fur is dark, olive, or black, sometimes with a white patch on their chest.
- They have cheek pouches in which they store food while feeding.
- On average, individuals weigh between 4.2 and 6.6 kilograms, making them the largest of the genus Cercopithecus.
- Sexual dimorphism is evident, with males being more prominent in size and body mass than females.
- Great spot-nosed apes live mainly in trees but also move through the forest on all fours.
