Baby Lion-tailed Macaque

Lion-tailed Macaques are diurnal rain forest dwellers. They are good climbers and spend a majority of their life in the trees. Unlike other macaques, they avoid humans. In their group behavior they are much like other macaques: they live in hierarchical groups of usually ten to twenty animals, which consist of some males and many females. They are territorial animals, defending their area first with loud crys towards the invading troops. If this proves fruitless, they brawl aggressively.
Lion-tailed Macaques nourish themselves primarily of fruits, but also eat leaves, buds, insects and small vertebrates.
