Habitat:
India
Wet lowland to dry deciduous forest up to 2134m (7002ft). Bonnet macaques also live near urban areas and temples.
Diet
Fruit, 47-53$; seeds, leaves, flowers, and animal prey, including insects, lizards, and frogs. Bonnet macaques eat 39 plant species, as well as raid crops and eat what humans offer at temples.
Behaviour:
Diurnal, arboreal, and terrestrtial. Bonnet macaques are good swimmers. They search the ground for insects and chase flying grasshoppers; adult males spend more time on the ground. These macaques sit in contact with others or huddle together when they rest.

Physical Characteristics:
Head and body length
- Male: 500mm (19.7in)
- Female: 590mm (23.2in)
Habitat:
Sulawesi (Indonesia)
Tropical forest.
Diet
Fruit. Booted macaques raid cacao crops.
Behaviour:
Diurnal and arboreal. Poisoned bait is used to kill booted macaques that raid cacao plantations.
Physical Characteristics:
Head and body length
- Male: 445-550mm (17.5-21.7in)
- Female: 520-570mm (20.5-22.4in)
Habitat:
Sulawesi (Indonesia)
Primary and secondary tropical forest.
Diet
Fruit, bud, sprouts, and insects, including caterpillars. These macaques use 120 plant species.
Behaviour:
Diurnal, arboreal, and terrestrtial. Black macaques show less agonistic behavior (3.6 agonistic interactions/hour) than stump-tailed macaques. During aggressive encounters, biting is rare and not performed by adult males. In a captive study, coalitions were rarely observed. Females have a mutual embrace in which they meet head to tail and sniff each other's genitals like dogs.
Physical Characteristics:
Head and body length
- Male: 400-500mm (15.7-19.7in)
- Female: 450-550mm (17.7-21.7in)
Weight

- Female: 6kg (13.2lb)
Habitat:
Taiwan
Mixed coniferous-hardwood temperate forest, as well as bamboo and grassland at 100-3600m (328-11,812ft).
Diet
Fruit, leaves, animal prey, buds, young shoots. These macaques reportedly raid crops.
Behaviour:
Diurnal, arboreal, and terrestrtial. Formosan rock macaques rest in forest and forage in grassland. High-ranking matrilines have more reproductive success. Habitat destruction rather than hunting is the greatest risk to the population.
Physical Characteristics:

Habitat:
Japan
Subtropical to subalpine, deciduous, broadleaf, and ever green forest of Japan below 1500m (4922ft). This macaque lives at the northernmost latitude of any nonhuman primate. An introduced free-ranging population has lived in Texas (USA) since 1972.
Diet
Fruit, seeds, leaves, bark, fungi, bird eggs, and invertebrates such as snails and cray fish.
Behaviour:
Diurnal, arboreal, and terrestrtial. Japanese macaques are good swimmers. This species often invades human territories, including hot thermal baths in the winter.
