The green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus), also known as the sabaeus monkey, is an Old World monkey with golden-green fur and pale hands and feet. The tip of the tail is golden yellow as are the backs of the thighs and cheek whiskers. It does not have a distinguishing band of fur on the brow, like other Chlorocebus species, and males have a pale blue scrotum. Some authorities consider this and all of the members of the genus Chlorocebus to be a single widespread species, C. aethiops.
The green monkey is a sexually dimorphic species, with males typically being slightly larger than females. Wild adult males weigh between 3.9 and 8.0 kg (8.6 and 17.6 lb) and measure between 420 and 600 mm (1.38 and 1.97 ft), while the females usually weigh between 3.4 and 5.3 kg (7.5 and 11.7 lb) and measure between 300 and 495 mm (0.984 and 1.624 ft).
The green monkey can be found in a wide range of wooded habitats, ranging from very dry Sahel woodland to the edge of rainforests. It is also commonly seen in coastal regions, where known to feed on seashore foods such as crabs. It also takes a wide variety of other foods, including fruits and invertebrates... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Green Monkey sighting in Miami on a given day, based on 63 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 19 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Monkey in Miami on a given day, against under 5% in March–July and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Monkey sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Green Monkey sightings, Miami ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Serrekunda (Gambia, about 60%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Monkey is recorded against all the mammals logged in Miami (63 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
