Macaque habitats

Macaques are adaptable monkeys found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, mountains, and urban areas across Asia and North Africa. They thrive in tropical and subtropical environments, often living near water sources like rivers and lakes. Some species are accustomed to human presence and can be seen in cities, parks, and agricultural lands, where they find food and shelter. Their habitat preferences depend on the species, but generally, they favor areas with abundant trees for nesting and access to diverse food sources such as fruits, leaves, and insects.
