Question

(1) Read the following passage carefully:
(8 Marks)
LA prominent feature of the macaque monkeys is the presence of check pouches in which theprimates temporarily store
food. Offer them their favourite food and they simply stuff all that they can in these cheek pouches which can puff up on
the sides. The food will be digested later.
2. Most macaques obtain a good amount of their on the ground gleaning for fruits, insects, leaves, shoots and more. Even
spiders are welcome on the swelling menu of these ever-curious monkeys. Most macaques are sort of squat and thickset in
build.
3. Macaques have been variously regarded to be the hardiest of all monkeys. There are half a dozen species of macaques in
the Indian region. While four of these (lion-tailed, pig-tailed, stump-talled and Assamese) have restricted distributional
ranges, the first in the Nilgiri mountains of South India and the latter three in the north-east, the Rhesus and Bonnet are
widespread.
4. Rhesus monkey, with the human blood factor named after it, is the animal that was once exported in the large numbers
for medical research, especially for testing newly developed drugs, including the development of the Salk vaccine against
poliomyelitis. The common monkey of North India, the Rhesus, can be easily recognized by a prominent patch of reddish-
orange ſur on its loins and rump.
5. Ascer ling up to almost 9,000 feet in the Himalayas, it is found down south, at the Godavari river, and is possibly slowly
increasing Ils range. Small numbers occur in Mumbai's Borivili National Park, often mixing along with a troop of Bonnets
and langurs.
6.The Bonnet has a longer tail and lacks the reddish-orange patch on its hindquarters (buttocks). But a centrally parted
bonnet of dark, longish hair radiating from the fore-crown gives this monkey its common name,
7.This is the common monkey of peninsular and southern India, found of the Godavari river. It is seen frequently in
Mumbai's National Park.
8.. This is the animal that also gives you company on Elephanta island, at Khandala, Matheran and at a host of other tourist
spots of southern India. It is, I find, only slightly less of a temple monkey that the Rhesus is over much of north India, where
a curious blend of religious and sentimental reasons just manages to prevent it from getting molested and persecuted.
8. More than any other animal macaques and langurs have always shared a very Intimate relationship with the human
environment in India. In most places where not molested, these monkeys have become remarkably bold and conniving.
Troops maintain territories often in town-centres, loaf around at railway stations, don't think twice before entering houses
rald market places, standing crops and fruits orchards and do a lot more.
9. And they have managed to get away with all this. In the wild though, these monkeys live in troops that in some places
have become rather wary of man. All these species have adapted to a wide variety of habitats, from forests to dry, arid
regions.
10.In this species dominance hierarchy in the males plays an important role in their social life. There is a central team of
dominant controlling males, with a group leader, usually a big fellow.
