Seventy hours of observation were gathered on a well-composed group of captive liontail macaques (1 adult male, 3 adult females, 1 sub-adult male, 1 sub-adult female, 2 juvenile males, 1 infant male, and 2 infant females caged together for more than five years). Their behaviors are described, defined and categorized, and comparisons are made with other Macaca species. Most of the behaviors observed tended to be similar to those of other congeneric macaques, with the exception of several variations typical for the liontail which are detailed. The behaviors and interactions of infant liontail monkeys are also discussed. |
