Vulnerable to the errors of others

Standing your ground in the confidence of humanity

Vulnerable to the wilful anger of others

Maintaining your time in place despite the inconvenience

Vulnerable to the impatience of others

Knowingly at risk and praying for mercy

The road ahead

The place of destination

My life in the hand of machines

Shield me from harm

Protect me from progress

The lovely Java Macaque is a very intelligent primate that lives in a complex social structure. These social animals are normally found in trees, though sadly, their preferred habitat is being lost to deforestation.

Java Macaques frequent agricultural areas and forest edges. It has also been found near aquatic areas, and is an adept swimmer. Java Macaques are active in daytime, and spend most of their time in trees. They live in groups of about 30 animals, and communicate through facial expressions and posturing. These groups do not usually tolerate other groups, and fighting or aggression may result at the meeting of two troops. A dominant male, who is often the only permanent male member of the group, leads each group. He, however, may be replaced if a wandering male is able to depose him. Wandering males go from group to group, and may replace other males of various social rankings through fierce tussles. Female Java Macaques remain in the groups they were born into for life, inheriting the social rankings of their mothers. They commonly groom each other to maintain social ranking and social bonds. Java Macaques eat mostly fruit, though their diets are supplemented with insects, bark, buds, shoots, flowers, grasses, leaves, seeds, sap, and gum. Often, food may be stored in cheek pouches while more is collected.

Female Java Macaques are usually smaller than males. While females weigh about nine pounds, males weigh around 13 pounds. They are 16 to 18.8 inches long, and their tails add an extra 20 to 24 inches. Every Java Macaque has deep cheek pouches, which it often uses for food storage. It is covered in grayish to reddish brown hair, which fades to lighter shades on the undersides of the primate.

The Java Macaque is often seen in captivity. In the wild, it is found in a variety of habitats, though it prefers forested or agricultural areas. Raffles first recognized the Java Macaque as a species in 1821. Although this animal is found throughout the Indo Pacific region, ranging through various lands including Java, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippine Islands, and Sumatra, the Java Macaque is dwindling in population. It is fast approaching a "Threatened" listing and is not welcomed throughout much of its range, due to its tendency to destroy crops. Deforestation also threatens the Java Macaque.
