Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya. This Old World monkey of the family is native to Africa and has been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety, and social and dependent alcohol use. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals, with males moving to other groups at the time of sexual maturity. Studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition, and particular predator sightings.
