Chlorocebus sabaeus (Linnaeus, 1766)

Yeşil maymun (Chlorocebus sabaeus), altın yeşili kürklü, solgun elleri ve ayakları olan bir köpeksi maymun türü. Kuyruğun ucu, uylukların ve yanak bıyıklarının arkası gibi altın sarısıdır. Diğer Chlorocebus türleri gibi alnında ayırt edici bir kürk çizgisi yoktur ve erkeklerde soluk mavi bir skrotum vardır. Bazı yetkililer bunu ve Chlorocebus cinsinin tüm üyelerini, tek bir yaygın tür, Chlorocebus aethiops olarak kabul eder.
