Assam Macaque

Also known as Assamese Macaque, Himalayan Macaque

Assam macaques navigate the steep forest canopies and rocky outcrops of South and Southeast Asia in cohesive, multi-male and multi-female troops. These stout, yellowish-brown primates spend their days foraging for fruits, leaves, and small invertebrates while maintaining strong social bonds through intricate grooming routines. When threatened or defending territory, males produce loud, rhythmic barking calls that echo through the hill forests.
