Mona monkeys are native to the lowland forests of western Africa between Ghana and Cameroon. Their native range includes eastern Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, and western Cameroon. People introduced this species into Grenada, São Tomé, and Principe.

They adapt well to heavily degraded forests, gallery forests in savanna regions, and mangrove forests. This animal is the most common monkey near rivers.

Their fur is grizzled, speckled due to the dark and light bands on every single hair. It is a very common coat pattern that helps them blend perfectly into the shadows of forest trees.

A blue-grey skin with a dark stripe on their face stands out and their tails and legs are black. They have a brown crown on top of their head, broad whitish brow bands, and bushy pale cheek fur. The upper body is deep brown while the underparts are creamy-white.

Groups of up to thirty-five individuals are common. A single mature male leads a troop of about twelve individuals. They move through the canopy, foraging for various foods.

Fruit, flowers, seeds, insects, leaves and other invertebrates are their main diet. They carry food in their large cheek pouches.

These vocal primates make harsh grating calls, and the male issues an alarm call that sounds like ooer. They are a very vocal species.

The female gives birth to a single baby during a normal pregnancy.
