Vervet monkeys are Old world monkeys from Africa. Groups can be normalized to dwell around tourist areas where they will find extra food, but are not reliant on this. They mostly forage for themselves, on trees, in bushes or on the ground. Since their natural sources of food can be found near humans, Vervets will also be there. Monkeys can travel from place to place, but normally have a territory. Their habitat in these areas can be well-established, usually longer then the arrival of busy tourists, therefore compete to live and eat among an approaching human population.
