What are macaque predators?

Macaques are relatively large and strong primates, which means they have fewer natural predators than smaller, more vulnerable animals. However, they are still susceptible to attacks from:

Larger predators:

* Tigers: The largest threat to macaques, especially in Southeast Asia.

* Leopards: Found in a wider range than tigers, also posing a significant risk.

* Crocodiles: Especially dangerous for macaques living near water.

* Pythons: Can overpower and constrict macaques, particularly juveniles.

* Large birds of prey: Such as eagles and hawks, may prey on young or vulnerable macaques.

Other threats:

* Other primates: Larger macaque species can sometimes prey on smaller macaques, particularly when resources are scarce.

* Humans: Human activity can pose a threat to macaques, through habitat destruction, hunting, and the spread of disease.

Important Note: The specific predators of a macaque species will vary depending on its location and habitat. For example, macaques living on islands may face fewer predators compared to those living in mainland forests.
