Maroon leaf monkeys (Presbytis rubicunda), also called red leaf monkeys, are native to Borneo and nearby Karimata. Found high in the trees, they consume leaves that other species cannot. Populations are decreasing due to severe deforestation from oil palm plantation expansion. Listed as Vulnerable.

Vervets (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) are widely distributed throughout eastern Africa from the Ethiopian Highlands to South Africa. Very adaptable, they easily occupy human settlements where they are persecuted as pests. Although widespread throughout their vast range, their populations are decreasing.
