URL: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/macaca/m._mulatta.html

Macaca mulatta live in a wide range of habitats, and show a great deal of adaptability. Some populations live in flatlands, while others, in north India and Pakistan, live in the Himalayas at elevations up to 3000 m. They are able to adapt to the hot, dry temperatures found in a desert, or to the cold winter temperatures which fall to well below the freezing point.

Japanese macaques range through the forested mountains and highlands of Japan. They occupy the northernmost regions of any nonhuman primate and are subject to large seasonal changes. In the central and northern parts of Japan, temperatures can range from -15C in the winter to 23C in the summer. These large swings in temperature may explain why Japanese macaques have different home ranges in different seasons.

Birthweight statistics from 5,376 pigtailed macaques born in social groups or single cages are presented. These represent the values from all liveborn, vaginally delivered, animals at the Washington Regional Primate Research Center (WaRPRC) between 1970-97. The data are total population values, as the Medical Lake breeding facility was permanently closed in 1997.
