1. The lion-tailed macaque (also called Beard ape) lives in the rainforests of Western Ghats. This region generally has hot climate and gets plenty of rainfall. The climatic conditions in rainforests are highly suitable for supporting an enormous number and a variety of animals.
2. Its most outstanding feature is the silver-white mane, which surrounds the head from the cheeks down to its chin.
3. It is a good climber and spends a major part of its life on trees.
4. It feeds mainly on fruits. It also eats seeds, young leaves, stems, flowers and buds.
5. This beard ape also searches for insects under the bark of the trees. Since it is able to get sufficient food on the trees, it rarely comes down to the ground.
