An elegant monkey. and very discreet

This elegant primate is characterized by its orange crown and white beard. Omnivorous, it feeds mainly on fruit, but also on leaves and mushrooms, and even small insects and worms! Living in small groups, it knows how to be discreet, so as not to be spotted by predators: its coat allows it to camouflage itself in the vegetation, and it communicates more through postures and attitudes than orally. At the slightest alarm, it stops, blending into the landscape…

There is no doubt that during your visit, you will be able to use your sense of observation to spot the three cercopithecus in their aviary!
