The vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus), or simply vervet, is an Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae native to Africa.[3] The term "vervet" is also used to refer to all the members of the genus Chlorocebus. The five distinct subspecies can be found mostly throughout Southern Africa, as well as some of the eastern countries. These mostly herbivorous monkeys have black faces and grey body hair color, ranging in body length from about 40 cm (16 in) for females, to about 50 cm (20 in) for males

Bale mountains vervet (Chlorocebus djamdjamensis)

This shy monkey is incredibly unusual, even by the standards of Old World monkeys: it’s an African bamboo specialist. Found only in a small area of Ethiopia known as the Bale Mountains, it lives in bamboo forests. It is however more adaptable than other bamboo specialists like the giant panda, and also eats fruits, small animals, and the leaves of other trees.

Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus). I’m not why this one was photoshopped into the oats guy, but you could say that, much like real life Quakers, they keep it simple, style-wise:

Their coats are light gray, that becomes lighter on the underside of their bodies with their faces, hands and feet being darker. Nothing anyone who preaches plain dress would have an issue with. Except for males, that is, whose private bits are…

Uh. I’m not sure if I can show this kind of thing here. They’re primates, so it might look a bit too human-like for Tumblr’s tastes and I really don’t want my blogs to get marked as explicit. But at the same time, you can’t talk about vervet monkeys without drawing attention to… hold on. I’m gonna make a SFW alternative to show you what I mean real quick.

Real as fuck

Wild Nigeria and its inhabitants

league-scientifique

May '22

I just have worked on a paper about poorly-known dwellers from the African continent. Reading it will have drawn a short while. All the best with your research. Thank you for working for mammalian ecology and conservation.

We hypothetically travel to the remote Jos Plateau in the central part of this country. The voyage is a pioneer project for study of rare carnivores, afrotheria or monkeys. Those are symbolic unicorns of zoology, so the inventory of them is part of assessment of biodiversity. This important job is the search of enigmatic creatures, which harbor territory. Animals, which we looking for are mammalian predators: side-striped jackal, ratel, hausa genet and serval, representants of living fossil: aardvark, ruminants i.e species of duiker, hartebeest, and other animals such as tree pangolin. Some research is needed to elucidate the populations of primates i.e. tantalus monkey, and rodentia: endemic rats and ground squirrel.

Those are poorly-studied mammals that occur in this vast land. We can use camera traps and drones for non-invasive studies. It is sort of science fiction research, but it can be a real-life adventure in the name of conservation. On the basis of the camera trapping technique we can calculate occupancy and presence-absence of peculiar theriofauna and further studies for those creatures are kindly appreciated. We recommend unique species-specific study of organisms such as Canis adustus or Chlorocebus sp. and Cephalophus rufilatus. Please take note that science fiction visionary could help with saving this problematic fauna for future generations as well as help in understanding their populations.

Further work will look like the adventures of Indiana Jones and could be lifetime experiences in remote territories. We can imagine it as science fiction, but it could be a real-life job for academicians. This inspiring job could be a partnership of European university and NGO as well as indigenous association of zoology. We would discover new powers of nature, plateau-dwellers and so on. The scientists can use Skoda yeti for their never-ending trips to the wild and research can be shared with publica. Ahead, there can be an aerial view of this unique plateau from a helicopter- its some bright thoughts.

It is an insight into understanding importance of zoology and undertaking another step to conservation of nature. Results perhaps will be presented during a conservatiation workshop in the small center for natural history. There is an archive and new hall of stuffed animals, rare menagerie of living beings colleceted by former european colonialism. Innovative project could be implemented in and around plateau to estimate carnivore populations and their ecology with emphasis on side-striped jackal and genets. Carnivore census could be implemented in the territory after all. Let routine be our advantage in the story of scientific exploration in archaic-looking wilderness. Milestones in pioneer studies could be impuls for saving the ecosystem and cryptic populations.

Some short camera trapping surveys are needed for further understanding of populations of carnivores, ungulates and rodents in Old Oyo National Park, located across two states of West Nigeria. MSc student will have been engaged with project focused on ecology of such wildlife assemblage as bushbuck, kob, grasscutter, savanna hare, pangolin species or side-striped jackal and gambian mongoose. Many larger animals are absent in the territory, but some interesting ones remain. The park in the south part is guinea forest and towards the north has changing to savanna. Area is mostly lowland plains, but in the central part there are scattered hills. Innovative project can be realized during one year for informational purposes, with the use of small vehicles, such as motorbikes. It would be truly appreciated, investigating this territory in the dimension of zoological inventory.

I would be interested in further filling the gaps in knowledge by my own short-time research on the carnivora of Nigeria and wildlife inventory in western part of Black Continent. Kind regards and enjoy your life.

Vervet monkey - Chlorocebus pygerythrus. The blue balls, unlike the human expression, is a sign of virility and dominance. And they show em off.

[ainews]

A new species of baboon has been discovered in the Rift Valley in Kenya and is the fastest of its kind.

The speedy primate has been named the "Rift Valley baboon" and scientists have estimated that it can run at speeds up to 37 miles per hour. The baboon is much faster than other species of baboon, which usually run at speeds of 10-12 miles per hour.

The Rift Valley baboon belongs to the Chlorocebus genus, the same group that includes the vervet and yellow baboon. It was first recognized by scientists in 2013 and is distinguished from other species by its smaller size, light fur, and long tail.

While the Rift Valley baboon is the fastest of its kind, scientists believe it may not be able to outrun predators such as lions and leopards. This is because the baboon’s speed is only useful for short bursts, making it vulnerable to predators that can sustain longer speeds for longer periods of time.

The discovery of the Rift Valley baboon is significant because it offers insight into the evolution of baboons and other primates in the region. It is also the first species of baboon that has been discovered in more than a century.

The Rift Valley baboon is currently listed as endangered because of its small population size and the threats it faces from human activity. Scientists are hoping that further research and conservation efforts will help protect the species from extinction.

Structural Analysis of MALAT1 long non-coding #RNA in cells and in #evolution [Article]

Although not canonically polyadenylated, the long non-coding RNA MALAT1 (Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1) is stabilized by a highly conserved 76 nucleotide triple helix structure on its 3’ end. The entire MALAT1 transcript is over 8,000 nucleotides long in humans. The strongest structural conservation signal in MALAT1 (as measured by co-variation of base-pairs) is in the triple helix structure. Primary sequence analysis of co-variation alone does not reveal the degree of structural conservation of the entire full-length transcript, however. Furthermore, RNA structure is often context dependent; RNA binding proteins that are differentially expressed in different cell types may alter structure. We investigate here the in cell and cell free structures of the full-length human and green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus) MALAT1 transcripts in multiple tissue-derived cell lines using SHAPE chemical probing. Our data reveal levels of uniform structural conservation in different cell lines, in cells and cell free, and even between species, despite significant differences in primary sequence. The uniformity of the structural conservation across the entire transcript suggests that, despite seeing co-variation signals only in the triple helix junction of the lncRNA, the rest of the transcript’s structure is remarkably conserved at least in primates and across multiple cell types and conditions. http://rnajournal.cshlp.org/cgi/content/short/rna.079388.122v1?rss=1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Round 1, part 2, match 8: even more miscellaneous monkeys

Bale mountains vervet (Chlorocebus djamdjamensis)

Found only in a small area of Ethiopia known as the Bale Mountains, it lives in bamboo forests. It is however more adaptable than other bamboo specialists like the giant panda, and also eats fruits, small animals, and the leaves of other trees.

De brazza’s monkey (Cercopithecus neglectus)

This monkey is good at hiding from predators and humans despite its size and adornments. It lives in the canopy of Central African forests, never found far from rivers, and eats leaves, fruits, seeds, and insects. Bizarrely, this and many other Old World monkeys have rodent-like cheek pouches to store food!

Two-thirds of the blueman group The vervet monkey is found in five subspecies in Africa. Being a medium small monkey living in social groups, it is heavily research for close to human social behaviour. That includes human conditions like anciety and hypertension, and alcohol abuse. This research is vital for understanding and treatment, both for humans and vervets. Some of the males develop this blue scrotum, and it is meant as signal of masculinity and quality as a mating partner. It is also a signal of rank within the family group, the lower the rank, the paler the blue colour. When the male reach maturity, it will move to another social group away from the mothers group. Often accompagnied by a vervet brother or friend. Chlorocebus pygerythrus can be referred to as vervet only. Its subspecies varies in colour in different shades of grey. And with some black and brown reddish versions. Adult males weigh between 3.9 and 8.0 kg, and have a body length between 420 and 600 mm from the top of the head to the base of the tail. Adult females weigh between 3.4 and 5.3 kg, and measure between 300 and 495 mm. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vervet_monkey https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/primates-monkeys-blue-scrota-genitalia #animals #sanctuary #monkey #male #nature #citylife #city #D800 #NikonD800 #Nikon #Nikkor #300mm #f4 #Vervet #blue #male #sunset #Chlorocebus #pygerythrus #africa #eastafrica #countryside #2016CE #blueman #group (at Lilongwe Wildlife Walking Trails) https://www.instagram.com/p/BEqdId0D-nd/?utm_medium=tumblr
