Bonnet macaque. A macaque distributed from southern to western India, it adapts to a variety of environments including moist forests, bamboo groves, dry forests, and urban outskirts. It is characterized by a distinctive “bonnet” crest of hair on the head formed by parted hair. It eats fruits, seeds, flowers, insects, and human refuse, and stores food in cheek pouches. Troops are typically multi-male multi-female of about 30 individuals and form a matrilineal society, with rank often determined by age. Breeding is concentrated in autumn; gestation is about 170 days and usually a single offspring is born. Although highly adaptable, populations have declined due to hunting and other factors, and it is classified as Least Concern.
