		A green monkey or patas troop may help conceal the vulnerable males, perhaps even camouflaging their odors and the distinctive sounds of their movement in the foliage (even I can hear the difference between an agile green monkey and a clumsily moving colobus or detect the barnyardlike odor left by a colobus).
		The colobus monkeys, or guerezas as they are sometimes called, have long hairs on the sides of their bodies and tails which increase wind resistance and act as parachutes during their prodigious and spectacular leaps from tree to tree.
		These monkeys rarely travel on their own, preferring the safety of up to twenty individuals, and they are equally at home in the trees and on the ground.

	Genotoxic and functional consequences of transplacental zidovudine exposure in fetal monkey brain mitochondria.
		Mitochondrial toxicity was assessed in the brains of developing Erythrocebus patas monkey fetuses exposed in utero to the nucleoside analogue drug zidovudine (3'-azido-3'deoxythymidine or AZT).
		Pregnant E. patas monkeys were given 0 (n = 5), 10 (n = 3), and 40 (n = 3) mg of AZT/day, equivalent to 21 and 86% of the human daily dose, for the last half (about 10 weeks) of gestation.
		Thus, in fetal patas monkeys given a human equivalent daily dose of AZT during the last half of pregnancy, mitochondria in the fetal cerebrum appear to sustain moderate damage, while the fetal cerebellum mitochondria were not effected.
