Diet
Grivet subsists primarily on a plant-based diet, favoring young leaves, seeds, and fruits. Nevertheless, it incorporates small invertebrates and birds' eggs for protein supplementation. This omnivorous diet facilitates both survival and adaptation.
Appearance
Grivet is a medium-sized primate with a slender body shape. It has a short and rough fur coat, predominantly greenish-grey, with a characteristic black face and tail. The underside is lighter, often yellowish. Males typically have a noticeable pale-blue scrotum. It has a white brow ridge above its eyes, which distinguishes it from other primates.
Behavior
Grivet display both terrestrial and arboreal activities, exhibiting diurnal patterns. Notably social creatures, they form multi-male multi-female groups which display a female-biased dominance hierarchy. Grivet communicate using facial expressions, vocalizations, and body postures. They are omnivores, often feeding in the early morning and late afternoon.
