The Patas monkey has long limbs, a slim frame, and a deep chest, which gives this animal an exceptional capacity to sprint and allows it to attain a high speed of up to 55 km/h (34 mph). Because of these characteristics, the Patas monkey has earned the distinction of being the world’s fastest primate.
A variety of distinguishing traits set males of this species apart from females of the same species. As a result, males have manes and long, white mustaches, but females do not have these characteristics. In addition, male Patas monkeys have a more vibrant overall hue than females. Male Patas monkeys have a reddish-gray torso, a white rump, and white-colored backs of their rear limbs. On the other hand, females have a color that is notably duller than males.
