Green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus) from Barbados Island. The species -native to tropical Africa- has been domesticated and considered as a pet.  Green monkeys were introduced at the end of the 17th century to different Caribbean islands mainly by slave ships from Africa.  They are currently present on the islands of Saint Kitts, Nevis, Saint Martin and Barbados (photo: Sergio Ticul Álvarez Castañeda).
