	Macaque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twenty-two macaque species are currently recognised, and they include some of the monkeys best known to non-zoologists, such as the Rhesus Macaque (as the Rhesus Monkey), Macaca mulatta, and the Barbary Macaque (as the Barbary Ape), M.
		In the late 1990s it was discovered that nearly all (circa 90%) pet or captive macaques are carriers of the herpes-B virus.
		A 2005 University of Toronto study showed that urban performing macaques also carried simian foamy virus, suggesting they could be involved in the species-to-species jump of similar retroviruses to humans.

	Celebes Crested Macaque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Celebes Crested Macaque is a diurnal rain forest dweller.
		This macaque is primarily terrestrial, spending more than 60% of its day on the ground foraging for food and socializing, while sleeping and searching for food in the trees.
		The Celebes Crested Macaque is hunted sometimes both as pests, because it devastates crops and fields, and as bushmeat.

	Japanese Macaque - Macaca fuscata
		These are the Snow Monkeys, or Japanese macaques of Japan, living at latitudes of 41° to 31° north of the equator, the only monkeys to live that far north in the world.
		A troop of macaques consists of about 20 to 30 individuals, and is usually led by a dominant male who decides where the group goes and defends it against intruders.
		The main cause for the decline of the Japanese macaque population is the destruction of their habitat.

	Crab-eating Macaque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Crab-eating Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is a primarily arboreal macaque native to Southeast Asia.
		Being "ecologically diverse", the Crab-eating Macaque is found in a wide variety of habitats, including primary lowland rainforests, disturbed and secondary rainforests, and riverine and coastal forests of nipa palm and mangrove.
		The Long-tailed Macaque is sometimes known as a "crop-raider", feeding in cultivated fields on such items as young dry rice, cassava leaves, rubber fruit, taro plants, coconuts, mangos, and other crops, thus often causing significant losses to the cash incomes of local farmers.

	Liontail Macaque
		Its role in the bonnet macaque (Macaca radiata) is rather different, for Simonda (1965) found that nuzzling was a certain indication of dominance on the part of the performing animal.
		Thus, in the bonnet macaque it is quite common and individuals of all sex/ age classes (except the very young) participate in extended grooming bouts.
		Its usage was similar to that described for the bonnet, the pigtail, and the stumptail macaques (Kaufman and Rosenblum, 1966; Bertrand, 1969).

	Birding Hotspots of W. Arunachal Pradesh
		The Arunachal Macaque, Macaca munzala, was dicovered by science, in the form of a team of biologists from the Nature Conservation Foundation, only in 2003 during an expedition to the high altitude regions of W. Arunachal Pradesh.
		The previous "new" macaque has been known to science for more than a hundred years and the last new primate description was of the Golden Langur in 1956 from Assam, not more than 150 km from the site of the latest discovery.
		Though the new macaque has a suite of characters which are quite distinctive animals which seem to be hybrids between the two species may be seen around Jang in Tawang.

	Macaque - LoveToKnow 1911
		MACAQUE, a name of French origin denoting the monkeys of the mainly Asiatic genus Macacus, of which one species, the Barbary ape, inhabits North Africa and the rock of Gibraltar.
		Displaying great variability in the length of the tail, which is reduced to a mere tubercle in the Barbary ape, alone representing the subgenus Inuus, macaques are heavily-built monkeys, with longer muzzles than their compatriots the langurs (see PRIMATES), and large naked callosities on the buttocks.
		They range all over India and Ceylon, thence northward to Tibet, and eastwards to China, Japan, Formosa, Borneo, Sumatra and Java; while by some naturalists the fl ape of Celebes (Cynopithecus ',tiger) is included in the same genus.

	Lion tailed macaque - Wild India
		The main threat to the lion-tailed macaque is the destruction of its habitat, occasional persecution as crop pests, as well as its unfortunate resemblance to Nilgiri langurs (Trachypithecus johnii) which are considered to have medicinal value.
		He observed that suitable and extensive rainforest habitat for Lion-tailed Macaque existed in Kudremukh and that the tract probably harbored the largest contiguous population of lion tailed macaques in the Western Ghats.
		He further suggested that Lion Tailed Macaques could be effectively used as a 'flagship' species to conserve the entire biotic community in the region and prepared a conservation plan for survival of wild population of Lion Tailed Macaques in the region delineating the present national park area as a proposed nature reserve.

		"The Gibraltar colony of Barbary macaques provided an ideal example of genetic isolation of a small population, which is now a regular occurrence among wild primate populations because of forest fragmentation," said Robert Martin, a primatologist and Field Museum Provost.
