=== Natural habitat === The vervet monkey ranges throughout much of [[Southern Africa|Southern]] and [[East Africa]], being found from [[Ethiopia]] and extreme southern [[South Sudan]] all the way down to [[South Africa]]. It is not found west of the [[East African Rift]] or the [[Luangwa River]],<ref name="msw3" /> where it is replaced by the closely related [[malbrouck]] (''C. cynosuros'') species. The vervet monkey inhabits [[savanna]], riverine woodland, coastal forest, and mountains up to 4000 m (13,100 ft). They are adaptable and able to persist in secondary and/or highly fragmented vegetation, including cultivated areas, and sometimes are found living in both rural and urban environments.<ref name=iucn/> Annual home range size has been observed to be as high as 176 ha, with an average population density of 54.68 animals/km<sup>2</sup>.
