Description
The Black-Faced Vervet Monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), also called African Green Monkey, is one of the most common of the monkey species seen in Tanzania. It can be found in areas of woodlands, savannah, forest, bush and scrub. The male genitalia is very distinguishable by a brightly colored, powder blue scrotum. A troop of 20 Black-Faced Vervets occupied our lodge in Arusha, and continuously tried to sneak into our rooms, but were discouraged by the staff.
This Black-Faced Vervet in a tree was photographed on the grounds of the Arumeru Lodge in Arusha, Tanzania, on 1-8-2016. I used a Nikon D810 camera body and a Nikkor 500mm f/4.0E FL ED VR2 telephoto lens to capture this image.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
