Noun
(en noun)- Vervet monkeys have several different sorts of call, including "leopard alarm barks," "eagle rraups'," and "snake ' chutters " (Struhsaker, 1967).
- The vervet's main claim to fame, however, lies in its alarm calls, in which it distinguishes between different types of predator: a chutter warns of the presence of a snake; a rraup is uttered when an eagle is spotted; a chirp is used for lions
