The vervet monkey is considered a diurnal mammal. Usually active in the early morning and late afternoon, but activity peaks vary depending on factors such as: habitat, predation, abundance of food and water. On average, the vervet will range approximately 11-18 km per day during the dry season.
They have been noted for having human-like characteristics, such as hypertension, anxiety. Vervets live in social groups ranging from 10 to 70 individuals. Days after an infant is born, every member of the group will inspect the infant at least once by touching or sniffing.
The most significant studies done on vervet monkeys involve their communication and alarm calls, specifically in regard to kin and group recognition and particular predator sightings.
The vervet monkey eats a primarily herbivorous diet, living mostly on wild fruits, flowers, leaves, seeds, and seed pods. In agricultural areas, vervets become problem animals, as they will raid bean crops, peas, young tobacco plants, vegetables, fruit, and various grain crops. Carnivorous aspects of their diet include grasshoppers and termites

This is a popular way of fishing in the rice paddies. The electricity is not strong enough to instantly kill the fish, only temporarily stuns them and they float to the surface.
