A small African monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) with greenish-gray fur, found in the savanna regions of East Africa.
From French 'grivet,' possibly from a West African language; the name likely describes the animal's coloration or was adopted from local naming traditions.
Grivets are incredibly vocal monkeys with over 30 different calls, and they're one of the few animals that can recognize other animals as individuals—they hold grudges and remember who treated them badly!
Complete word intelligence in one call. Free tier — 50 lookups/day.
