Originally from West Africa, monas arrive in Grenada in the 18th century on colonial ships, perhaps as pets or possibly even by accident. They are the only species of monkey found on the island and are known among locals for their sociable personalities, booming voices, and lithe, plasticine-like limbs. Their faces, which are blue-grey and surrounded by fluffy white beards, are extremely expressive, with wide black eyes giving them a near-constant look of surprise.
