Description

The macaques constitute a genus (Macaca) of Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. The twenty-two species of macaques are widespread over Earth. Macaques are of some interest to human researchers for their intricate social structures and their usefulness in animal testing, particularly regarding eyesight.I DO NOT AGREE WITH ANIMAL TESTING.Aside from humans (genus Homo), the macaques 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-two 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.
