Living in cohesive groups known as troops, they engage in complex social interactions and hierarchical structures.
Interestingly, lion-tailed macaques have a connection with another threatened habitat in the Western Ghats - the Myristica swamps. These swamps, known for their rich biodiversity, serve as important foraging grounds for the macaques. However, the loss of Myristica swamps due to habitat degradation further exacerbates the challenges faced by these primates, underscoring the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the importance of conservation efforts.
