Monkey Business on our Game Reserve
(0 comments)
There are only a few species of Old World monkeys found in South Africa. Two of these, the vervet monkey and the Chacma baboon, live in the wild at Kariega Game Reserve.
The vervet monkey, as seen in this video, with its silvery-grey coat and black face, is often seen at Kariega Game Reserve. The video shows a number of different behaviours that entertain safari guests.
Vervet Monkeys are Intelligent Opportunists
Vervet monkeys live in troops made up of a number of males and females with their young, but only one dominant male. They are primarily herbivores, living mostly on wild fruits, flowers and vegetation. They also eat insects and eggs.
Vervet monkeys are highly intelligent animals and opportunists in their search for food. They sometimes cause havoc if they get into the dining area, suites or chalets. Please make sure that you close your windows when you go out.
