A baby of Sulawesi crested black macaque (Macaca nigra) is playing with adult female individuals during weaning period in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Primate scientists from Macaca Nigra Project observed that the crested macaque groups with more adult females are better able to defend (food) resources against other groups"-- one of the factors determining the chance of survival.
