The only difference they have with Paani in terms of appearance is their short tail, whereas Paani has a longer one. Just like the other Macaque species, Arunachal Macaque Monkeys are social animals. But an interesting fact about them is that they help in dispersing seeds in the forest.
6. WHITE-CHEEKED MACAQUE MONKEY
