Lion-tailed Macaque
Lion-tailed Macaque
This primate rarely leaves the trees and gets the water it needs by licking moisture that collects on leaves.
When foraging for food the lion-tailed macaque will gather food as fast as possible and stuff it into its cheek pouches. It can then retreat to a safe place to eat what it has gathered. The cheek pouches can hold the same amount of food as the stomach.
