Species Overview
A medium-sized Old World monkey of the Ethiopian Highlands and surrounding lowlands of the Horn of Africa. Adults weigh 3โ8 kg with olive-gray to greenish dorsal fur and a paler ventral side. The face is black, bordered by white whiskers and a white brow band. Males have a conspicuous blue scrotum. They inhabit savanna woodland, riverine forest, and forest edges. They are semi-terrestrial, spending time both in trees and on the ground. Diet is omnivorous: fruits, leaves, flowers, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates. They live in multi-male, multi-female groups of 10โ50 individuals with female philopatry. The species complex (formerly all grouped as C. aethiops sensu lato) is famous in biomedical science because the Vero cell lineโone of the most widely used mammalian cell lines in virology and vaccine productionโwas derived from kidney cells of an African green monkey. Gestation is ~163 days. Lifespan is ~20 years in captivity. IUCN: Least Concern.

Provisional atlas release
This view is a provisional release built from a public dataset (PMID 33431511) that has not yet completed the LACA annotation pipeline: cell groups are unsupervised Leiden clusters without curated cell-type names, and the embedding was recomputed by LACA (normalize/HVG/PCA/UMAP) without batch correction. Gene search is disabled pending the curated release.
