  Latin name: Macaca fuscata
  A Cold Dweller!
  It is the world's most northerly primate! In winter, its thicker fur allows it to brave colds as low as -20 degrees Celsius!
  Although it may sometimes bite into eggs, crayfish, snails and insects, it prefers fruit, berries and nuts.
  It is the most studied species in the world (over 50 years of data). Scientists were able to observe the transmission of a behavior that of washing pieces of seet potatoes that the researchers would throw on the beach in order to to draw them out of the forest.
  They live in matrilineal groups, meaning that the hierarchy is established between the females around a dominant female. The males gravitate around it and their hierarchic system is much more subject to changes.
  Although the populations are stable in the wild, the species could be vulnerable to deforestation, notably for road building.
