China: Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), Wulingyuan Scenic Area (Zhangjiajie), Hunan Province

The Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), also called the Rhesus monkey, is brown or grey in color and has a pink face, which is bereft of fur. Its tail is of medium length and averages between 20. 7 and 22. 9 cm (8. 1 and 9. 0 in). Adult males measure approximately 53 cm (21 in) on average and weigh about 7. 7 kg (17 lb). Females are smaller, averaging 47 cm (19 in) in length and 5. 3 kg (12 lb) in weight. It is listed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and its tolerance of a broad range of habitats. Native to South, Central and Southeast Asia, troops of Macaca mulatta inhabit a great variety of habitats from grasslands to arid and forested areas, but also close to human settlements. Wulingyuan Scenic Reserve (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Wulíng Yuán) is a scenic and historic interest area in Hunan Province. It is noted for its approximately 3,100 tall quartzite sandstone pillars, some of which are over 800 metres (2,600 ft) in height and are a type of karst formation. In 1992 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
