Patas Monkey
Erythrocebus patas
Patas monkeys inhabit open savannas, grasslands, and sparse woodland across parts of sub-Saharan Africa. They forage on the ground for seeds, fruits, grasses, insects, and occasional small animals, retreating to trees for rest or safety. Known as the fastest primates on land, adults can sprint rapidly across open terrain to escape danger.
