What does GUENON mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A slender, long-tailed monkey native to the forests of Africa.
Guenons live mostly in the trees of African forests, moving quickly along branches on their long tails and limbs, and many species are known for brightly patterned or colourful coats and faces. Males are noticeably larger than females in most guenon species, and the group includes familiar animals such as the green monkey and the vervet. Naturalists group guenons together as one of the largest groups of African monkeys, spread across a wide range of habitats from rainforest to savanna woodland. The word entered English from French, where it named the same animal.
