The rhesus monkey is a brown or grey Old World monkey that thrives across Asia, from forests to cities. These adaptable primates hold the record for the widest natural range of any monkey outside humans. Adults grow about as long as a housecat, with tails nearly half their body length.

  • Weighs between 5.3 to 7.7 kg — about the size of a large housecat.
  • Their tails stretch 20 to 23 cm, perfect for balance in trees.
  • Survives from sea level to high mountains across Asia.
