Photograph byMelissa GrooDescription
Not noticeably blue, blue monkeys are highly social animals, primarily active during the day. They live in the trees, in groups of 10 to 40, usually with a single adult male, and eat mainly fruit and leaves. They are also called diademed monkeys, for the band of white fur above the brow, and their faces are usually dark, only rarely blue.
