Arunachal Macaque (Macaca munzala) - Wiki


Arunachal Macaque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arunachal Macaque (Macaca munzala), a relatively large brown primate with a comparatively short tail, is a macaque native to Arunachal Pradesh in north-eastern India. Known to the locals as Munzala ("monkey of the deep forest"), it was unknown to scientists until 2004. It is the first species of macaque to have been discovered since 1903 when the Indonesian Pagai Island Macaque was discovered.

The Arunchal Macaque is compactly built and has a very dark face. It lives at high altitudes, between 2000 m and 3500 m, making it one of the highest-dwelling primates.

The Arunchal Macaque is apparently most closely related to the Assam Macaque (Macaca assamensis) and to the Tibetan Macaque (Macaca thibetana).
