Known for their intelligence and curiosity, macaques thrive in diverse habitats—from snowy mountains to bustling cities. They live in complex social groups where grooming strengthens bonds and hierarchy plays a big role. Macaques are also famous for their problem-solving skills, often using tools and learning behaviors from one another.
