#13 - The Vervet Monkey
They like to sit over the breakfast table, waiting for the perfect moment—and suddenly the biscuit is gone.
In this episode, I'll explain why the vervet monkey isn't a cat, but a monkey, how its complex social life works, and why mutual grooming is much more than just coat care. We'll discuss hierarchies, family bonds, alarm calls, clever food thieves, and the crucial question of why you should never feed these animals.
You'll also learn why adult males display such striking colors, how young vervet monkeys grow up in the group, and why they can sometimes be invaluable helpers for safari guides, warning them of leopards, snakes, or birds of prey. ……………………………………………………………………
