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.
