macaque
The macaques ( or 〔(macaque ) pronunciation by Oxford Dictionaries〕) constitute a genus (''Macaca'') of Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The 23 species of macaques are widespread over Earth.
==Description==
Aside from humans (genus ''Homo''), the macaques are monkeys that are the most widespread primate genus, ranging from Japan to Afghanistan and, in the case of the barbary macaque (''Macaca sylvanus''), to North Africa and Southern Europe. Twenty-three macaque species are currently recognized, including some of the monkeys best known to non-zoologists, such as the rhesus macaque (''Macaca mulatta''), and the barbary macaque, a colony of which lives on the Rock of Gibraltar. Although several species lack tails and their common names therefore refer to them as apes, these are true monkeys, with no greater relationship to the true apes than any other Old World monkeys.
In some species, skin folds join the second through fifth toes, almost reaching the first metatarsal joint.
