Togean macaque
The Togean macaque is a primate species native to the Togean Islands in Indonesia. It is a medium-sized monkey with a distinctive appearance, featuring a dark coat and a long tail. This species primarily inhabits tropical forests and is known for its social behavior, often living in groups.
Togean macaques are primarily frugivorous, meaning they mainly eat fruits, but they also consume leaves, seeds, and insects. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. Unfortunately, their population is threatened by habitat loss and hunting, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
