Rhesus Macaque
Macaca mulatta
32.1131, 76.2716
Field Notes
Description:
This is a juvenile that was playing around a ancient fort in Kangra India. There was a family in the area and they took turns getting drinks . The second photo is of an adult that found a bag of masala flavored chips and was eating them. I was pretty close to the adult but the little ones were very skitish. Ther hair is golden on their backs.
Habitat:
Everywhere in India, from grasslands to forests. They tend to be near people which is not hard to do in India. I worry about their health since they were often seen eating from dumpsters as well.
