Mangabeys are a group of medium to large-sized monkeys found primarily in the forests of Africa. They belong to the family Cercopithecidae and are known for their long limbs and tails. There are several species of mangabeys, including the Tana River mangabey and the White-throated mangabey. These monkeys are typically social animals, living in troops that can range from a few individuals to over a hundred. Mangabeys are primarily frugivorous, meaning they mainly eat fruits, but they also consume leaves, seeds, and insects. They are known for their vocalizations, which help them communicate with each other in their dense forest habitats. Mangabeys play an important role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal.
