Blue or Syke’s monkey

Blue or Syke’s monkey
Similar to the vervet monkey but slightly larger and much darker, the Sykes’ or blue monkey has a grey to black face, black shoulders, limbs and tail and a reddish-brown to olive-brown back. More arboreal than the vervet monkey, the Sykes’ monkey generally prefers a dense forest and woodland habitat, where it feeds on fruit, bark, gum and leaves.
