The booted macaque[1] is a macaque native to Indonesia’s Sulawesi Island. This Old-World monkey is diurnal, spending most of the day in trees.
- Female booted monkeys have dark, round faces with deep-set, forward-facing eyes. A mane of light grey-brown fur is fanned out and covers the ears.
- The upper part of the mane is black. Their slender torso is also covered in black fur, which ends at the back and the beginning of the limbs.
- These sections are faded to a similar but lighter color found in the mane. The pelage around their hands and feet fades to a darker shade, somewhat brown.
- Males exhibit the same basic pattern as females but are more prominent. In addition, specific coloration appears to vary more individually than sex.
- Aside from size, the much larger upper canines in males are a critical difference between males and females.
