Rhesus macaque baby. The baby was later found dead in a well. Though monkeys are known to attack people, enter homes or damage property, this reported behaviour was unusual. The rhesus macaque is well known to science. Due to its relatively easy upkeep in captivity, wide availability, and closeness to humans anatomically and physiologically, it has been used extensively in medical and biological research on human and animal health-related topics. It has given its name to the Rh factor, one of the elements of a person's blood group, by the discoverers of the factor, Karl Landsteiner and Alexander Wiener. The rhesus macaque
Arunachal macaque and 3500 m above sea level, making it one of the highest-dwelling primates. It belongs to the "M. sinica" species-group of macaques, along with the Assamese macaque ("M. assamensis"), the Tibetan macaque ("M. thibetana"), the bonnet macaque ("M. radiata") and the toque macaque ("M. sinica"). The Arunachal macaque is apparently physically similar to the Assam and Tibetan macaques, while genetically closely related to the bonnet macaque of southern India. This is probably the result of convergent evolution, where organisms evolve similar physical features due to similar environmental selection pressure, while genetically they may have different origins. However, its full specific
