  1. Grivet

    The grivet (Chlorocebus aethiops) is an Old World monkey with long white tufts of hair along the sides of its face.

Hybridization between them is possible, and may present a threat to the vulnerable Bale Mountains vervet. Unlike that species, the grivet is common and rated as least concern by the IUCN.
