What are macques?

Makakaks are the family of the monkeys of the Old World, which is located from North Africa to Japan. Old world monkeys usually have tails, although unlike the new world monkeys, their tails are not preliminary. Some species lack tails and earn the common name of apes, although this nomenclature is technically incorrect. They are the most widespread inhumane primacy and several species such as Rhesus and Barbara Makaka are well known to people.

These monkeys are often used in animal experiments, especially Rhesus Macaques, which can be easily maintained in captivity. Numerous famous discoveries and experiments included this species, from the factor of Rhesus in the blood to the infamous experiments for maternal deprivation carried out in the 1950s. Rhesus monkeys usually live for approximately 25 years and prefer a wide range of environment, including grass stands, forests and urban areas. They tend to be brave and intelligent.

Barbara Macaques, also called Barbara Apes because they cThey move tails, live in Morocco and Algeria. The small colony of Barbara Macaques, probably introduced, inhabits Gibraltara. These monkeys are listed as endangered, due to increased logging and killing farmers and villagers. The popular myth claims that if Barbara Macaques lives on Gibraltar, the British retain the government.

All maccas tend to lead social life in soldiers from 20 to 200 with a mixture of men and women. Females tend to exceed men, with most soldiers watching the structure of matriarchal leadership. Many of them are very loud and the fighting between men is not rare while most women work together with each other. They also show sexually dimorphic tendencies, with men visually distinguishing from women in most species.

Makakaks for pets and prisoners tend to carry illnesses because of their imprisonment, especially the rare form of herpes that is not harmful to them but can be for the peopleEven very harmful if it exceeds species. As a result, individuals who process these monkeys should use protection, including gloves and masks, and should make sure they are fully vaccinated. Any monkeys maintained in captivity should also be properly taken care of to minimize the risk of spreading such diseases.
