Indian Wildlife: Rhesus macaque
Rhesus macaque monkey: Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, India, March 2023 — before moving on completely from Keoladeo, I need to spend some time with the other wildlife we saw there. I was amazed by the numbers and variety of the wildlife that a country like India has managed to preserve. Of course this wildlife, the Macaque as it is called in India, has managed to survive and thrive right along-side the human population. Primarily a vegetarian, the Macaque is happy to live in villages, temples, ruins, around farms, and even cities where there is any open space. Troops were a common sight everywhere we went. They are not, as far as I am concerned, among the “cute” monkeys, and can be quite aggressive. They certainly are survivors though and you have to admire them for that.
