is one of the most terrestrial primates. They are found in western,
central, and eastern Africa. Patas monkeys are medium-sized quadrupedal
walkers and runners and have slender bodies, long limbs, and long
tails. They live and primarily forage in grasslands and savannahs, where
they eat grass seeds, shoots, and acacia gums. They typically reside in
single-male groups of up to 12 individuals.</p>
