Macaques are highly intelligent and social primates that never fail to entertain zoo visitors with their playful antics and expressive faces. Living in troops, they exhibit complex social behaviors, including grooming, playing, and vocalizing to communicate.
At the zoo, their enclosures are enriched with ropes, platforms, and puzzles to encourage climbing and problem-solving. Behind the scenes, zookeepers focus on creating stimulating environments, often hiding food in puzzle feeders to keep them mentally active. Their diet includes fruits, vegetables, seeds, and occasional protein to mimic their omnivorous habits. Visitors are often amazed by the macaques’ dexterity and their ability to use tools, demonstrating their remarkable intelligence.
