Dryas Monkey ~ Cercopithecus dryas![]() General Information Class: Mammalia Order: Primates Family: Cercopithecidae Genus: Cercopithecus Species: C. dryas Location and Habitat The Dryas monkey lives in a very restricted area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Conservation Status ![]() Sizes
In Zoos Type of Exhibit: Although never kept in zoos the dryas monkey's exhibit can be very similar to the more popular diana monkey's exhibit. No matter what type of exhibit a large mesh netting must be used as a roof for an outdoor enclosure. The net should be roughly 12-30 ft high so the monkeys can still have headroom. An indoor area is highly recommended so the animal does not become ill do to ill-faded weather. IN both indoor and outdoor exhibits add lots of climbing structures. For indoor exhibits bars are okay. They may not look as good as glass or an aviary fence but they offer a climbing opportunity of their own. Temperament: Not much is known about the dryas monkey's temperament but it is thought to be similar to other guenon species. Diet:
Social Needs: LIke other guenons the dryas monkey lives in small troops. If you are lucky enough to get your hands on two, put them in the same exhibit. If you only have one attempt to create a "mock" dryas monkey by using another species like diana or roloway monkeys. They will still give your single dryas monkey the social interaction that he needs. Reproduction:
