These primates are primarily found in the dense tropical forests of Central and West Africa. Mangabeys are characterized by their long limbs, tail, and expressive faces, which aid them in navigating the forest canopy. They exhibit a complex social structure, living in troops that communicate through a variety of vocalizations and gestures. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, seeds, and insects, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal and maintaining the ecological balance in their habitats.
