Dear Friends,
Here are a few photos from my (zoo) collection and in this series, I would like to introduce one animal in every post - in this post, let us discuss Lion Tailed Macaques.
Have you ever captured any photos of Lion Tailed Macaque? Can you give me company by publishing your shots?
Lion-tailed Macaque or Lion-tailed Monkey
Lion-tailed macaques or lion-tailed monkeys are native to the Indian subcontinent. They are found in the Sahyadris (western ghats). Their scientific name is Macaca silenus, belong to the Cercopithecidae family and genus is Macaca.
They have grey in colour fur on their face like a beard and their tails look like a lion’s tails. These biological features help them to be differentiated from other species of monkeys.
But like any other monkey, this monkey also has a cheek pouch which is used to store food to access whenever required.
A group of 4 or more male and female monkeys live and search for their food together. Male monkeys are bigger than female monkeys, they weigh 5-10 kgs and 2-6 kgs respectively.
The lion-tailed macaques are endangered and only less than 3000 live in the world. They are classified as the most endangered species and placed in the Red List of Threatened species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
As an LG Photographer, I have spotted Lion Tailed Macaques in Trivandrum Zoo Here and Valdalur Zoo (Arignar Anna Zoological Park) Here.
