During the afternoon of April 12, 2012, we visited the Las Terrazas Tourist Complex, a Biosphere Reserve, located in the Sierra del Rosario. Near the art studio, Estudio Alomá, on the grounds of Las Terrazas, we saw this captive Green Monkey. This medium-sized primate belongs to the genus Chlorocebus. The ancestors of this primate, whose native range was in sub-Saharan Africa, were brought to the Caribbean islands along with enslaved Africans. This animal is a descendent of those populations. Many are used in biomedical research...so I guess this "pet" is lucky.
