De Brazza’s monkey is a large primate, native to Africa. De Brazza’s monkey is so called after a Franco-Italian explorer Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, who established Brazzaville, the capital city of Congo – one of the countries they are endemic to. Although these primates are generally arboreal, they can also spend their time in water and on the ground. When moving around, De Brazza’s monkeys use all of their four legs, unlike some monkeys. They are also good swimmers. Juveniles try to imitate their fathers, practicing dominance. The greater part of their active time is spent roaming with arched tails and slamming branches. Meanwhile, the dominant male may sometimes be challenged by another male of the area.
