The green monkey[1] (Chlorocebus sabaeus), also called the sabaeus monkey, is an Old World monkey with golden-green fur, pale feet, and hands.
- These medium-sized monkeys are draped in dense, green-tinged, golden fur, hence their common name, green monkeys.
- The face is hairless but covered with dark blue fur outlined by a smooth line of white fur.
- Like other monkeys, Green monkeys have long, thin, semi- prehensile tails. In addition, male and female species are sexually dimorphic.
- Males can weigh between 4 and 8 kg and reach an average length of 50 cm.
- Adult females typically weigh between 3.5 and 5 kg and are around 450 mm long. The color scheme is said to feature a prominent “red-white-blue” display.
