Moor macaque Moor macaque The moor macaque ("Macaca maura") is a macaque with brown/black body fur with a pale rump patch and pink bare skin on the rump. It is about 50-58.5 cm long, and eats figs, bamboo seeds, buds, sprouts, invertebrates and cereals in tropical rainforests. It is sometimes called "dog-ape" because of its dog-like muzzle, although it's no more closely related to apes than any other Old World monkey is. It's endemic to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. The moor macaque is threatened mostly due to habitat loss from an expanding human population and deforestation to increase agricultural land
Animal psychopathology support that SA may increase sensory input in poor environments. Captive macaques do not socialize the way wild macaques do which may affect SA. When allowed to socialize by putting another macaque in the cage or not putting them in a cage, SA levels in macaques decrease. Results indicate that SA is a form of redirected social aggression. SA is related to frustration and social status, especially in macaques that have an intermediate dominance rank. http://www.care2.com/causes/can-dogs-lead-us-to-a-cure-for-obsessive-compulsive-disorder.html Animal psychopathology Animal psychopathology is the study of mental or behavioral disorders in animals.
