The Macaque Monkey
A prominent feature of macaque monkeys is the presence of cheek pouches in which these primates temporarily store food. Give them their favorite food and whatever else they can in these cheeky pouches that can inflate on the sides. Food will be digested later.
Most macaques obtain a good amount of their food on the ground foraging for fruits, insects, leaves, twigs, and more. Spiders are also a welcome addition to the hilarious menu of these curious monkeys. Most macaques prefer squat and thickset in build.
Various types of macaques are considered to be the hardest of all monkeys. There are half a dozen species of macaques in the Indian region. While four of these (lion-tail, pig-tail, stump-tail and Assamese) have a limited distribution range, the first is widespread in the Nilgiri Mountains of South India and the latter three in the Northeast, Rhesus and Bonnet.
The rhesus monkey, named after a human blood factor, is an animal that was once exported in large numbers for medical research, especially for testing newly developed drugs, including Salk’s vaccine against poliomyelitis. Vaccine development was also involved. The rhesus, the common monkey of northern India, is easily recognized by a prominent patch of reddish-orange fur across its pelvis and tail.
It is found south of the Godavari River, rising to about 9,000 feet in the Himalayas, and is probably gradually expanding its range. Found in small numbers in Mumbai’s Borivali National Park, often with a troop of bonnets and langurs.
The bonnet has a long tail and does not have a reddish-orange patch on its back (rump). But a centrally parted bonnet of the darkest, longest hairs that emerge from force-drowning gives it its common name.
It is a common monkey of peninsular and southern India, found south of the Godavari River. It is often seen in the National Park of Mumbai. 0 0 0.
