Macaques are a diverse group of primates belonging to the genus Macaca. They are found primarily in Asia and North Africa, with various species adapted to different environments, from forests to mountains. Macaques are known for their social behavior, often living in large troops that exhibit complex social structures. These monkeys are characterized by their long tails, expressive faces, and strong limbs. Macaques are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, and small animals. They are also known for their intelligence, using tools and exhibiting problem-solving skills, which makes them a subject of interest in animal behavior studies.
