长尾猴向不同的捕食者发出不同的警报。当捕食者不在时，回放的警报录音会让猴子跑进树上寻找豹子的警报，抬头寻找老鹰的警报，低头寻找蛇的警报。成年人主要对豹、鹰和蟒蛇发出叫声，但婴儿对各种哺乳动物发出豹的警报，对许多鸟类发出鹰的警报，对各种蛇形物体发出蛇的警报。捕食者的分类随着年龄和经验而提高。
Vervet monkeys give different alarm calls to different predators. Recordings of the alarms played back when predators were absent caused the monkeys to run into trees for leopard alarms, look up for eagle alarms and look down for snake alarms. Adults call primarily to leopards, martial eagles and pythons, but infants give leopard alarms to various mammals, eagle alarms to many birds and snake alarms to various snakelike objects. Predator classification improves with age and experience.
