Field Notes
Notes:
The common Bonnet Macaque is a species of primate found in India and they are found in almost every kind of forest. A striking behavior of these primates is that they have the tendency of gravitating towards human habitations. In fact, it is interesting to note that significant populations of completely wild Bonnet Macaques in interior forests have rarely been reported.
Their proximity to humans have led to many man-animal conflicts. We have read research reports, which indicate that several groups of monkeys have been completed eliminated over the last two decades and that some areas that had abundant populations earlier are now completely devoid of them.
