A Patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) is depicted in a seated or crouched position against a textured, light brown rock formation. The monkey features a reddish-brown crown, lighter greyish-white fur on its face, chest, and lower body, and reddish-brown fur on its back and upper limbs. Its face is slightly out of focus, with eyes appearing narrowed or closed, and a small pink tongue is visible, slightly extended from its mouth. The fur appears somewhat matted or damp. A silver-colored metal chain is present in the upper right background, partially obscured by the monkey. This scene is located in the city of Gombe, Nigeria.
