Animals Mammals

Mona monkeys are a type of guenon, which is a group of Old World monkeys. Their characteristics include cheek pouches and colorful faces and fur. You might notice them picking up food and storing it in those pouches! Monas are great at adapting to changes in habitat, which also has helped them adapt as an introduced (non-native) species to the island of Grenada in the Caribbean, where they were brought in the 1700s.
