so, now that we sorted out the "melting lead tip" fiasco- maybe the science committee can figure out why theres no green-furred animals? green reptiles, fish, birds- but no mammals. sorta weird, i thought(who'd ever see a green monkey in the jungle)...i figure we can gather up the collected wisdom and issue a semi-annual encyclical detailing the known world....6-pack rat over/out...

Then there are the Green Monkey's.....
Guenons
This is a highly diverse group with there being 19 to 21 distinct species, 67 sub-species, and 8 or 9 groups. To make it easier, they are divided up into 2 categories, Savanna and Forest dwelling. They have a life span of 20 to 25 years and the species most commonly owned by individuals are:
SAVANNA MONKEYS
They are plain colored with soft, short hair which is yellowish to olive color on the shoulders, back, and tail. Their arms and legs are gray to black and their face is black as well. They weigh in at about 10 to 16 pounds. and the males are larger than the females. They posses opposable thumbs, a long tail, and cheek pouches.
GREEN MONKEYS - The most plain of the savanna monkeys, lacking the white band of hair above the eyes.

Barbados Wildlife: Green Monkeys
The green monkeys found in Barbados originally came from Senegal and the Gambia in West Africa approximately 350 years ago. About 75 generations have occurred since these monkeys arrived in Barbados and, as a result of environmental differences and evolution, the Barbados monkeys today have different characteristics than those in West Africa.
There are presently between five thousand and seven thousand monkeys in Barbados and these are found mainly in the parishes of St.John, St.Joseph, St.Andrew and St.Thomas, the parishes where much natural vegetation and woodlands still exist. However, monkeys can also be seen traveling through hotel grounds in St.Peter and St.James.
You may observe an infant monkey being carried by its mother, with the infant clinging to the mothers fur on her stomach and chest and her protective arm around him. As the infant matures and becomes more independent, he will stray from his mother, being carried only when the troop moves or when danger threatens.
Infants often appear blue in colour, as they have little fur when they are born. However, as they mature, they develop a thick fur that is brownish-grey in colour with specks of yellow and olive green. In some lights, the fur has an overall green appearance ... hence the name the "Green Monkey"
