Stump-tailed macaque
The stump-tailed macaque (''Macaca arctoides''), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque found in South Asia. In India, it is found in south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country.〔Choudhury, A.U. (1988) Priority ratings for conservation of Indian primates. ''Oryx'' 22: 89-94.〕 Its range in India extends from Assam and Meghalaya to eastern Aruanchal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura. 〔Choudhury, A.U. (2002) Status and conservation of the stump-tailed macaque ''Macaca arctoides'' in India. ''Primate Report'' 63: 63-72.〕
It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.
==Physical characteristics==
The stump-tailed macaque has long, thick, dark brown fur covering its body, but its face and its short tail, which measures between 32 and 69mm, are hairless.〔 Infants are born white and darken as they mature.〔 As they age, their bright pink or red faces darken to brown or nearly black and lose most of their hair.〔 Males are larger than females, measuring 51.7-65cm long and weighing 9.7-10.2kg, while females measure 48.5-58.5cm and weigh 7.5-9.1kg.〔 Males' canine teeth, which are important for establishing dominance within social groups, are more elongated than those of the females.〔 Like all macaques, this species has cheek pouches to store food for short periods of time.〔
