rhesus monkeys

Rhesus monkeys are a species of Old World monkeys native to Asia, known for their adaptability to different environments. They have reddish-pink faces, brown or grey fur, and are highly social, living in large groups. Rhesus monkeys are often used in scientific research due to their genetic similarity to humans, helping us study genetics, psychology, and disease. They are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, seeds, insects, and small animals. Their intelligence, social structures, and adaptability make them important both ecologically and scientifically.
