	Macaque (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Aside from humans (genus Homo), the macaques are the most widespread primate genus, ranging from northern Africa to Japan.
		Nineteen 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.
		Although several species lack tails, and their common names therefore refer to them as apes, these are true monkeys, with no relationship to the great apes in family Hominidae or the lesser apes in family Hylobatidae.
