THE ANSWER IS TRUE.
Explanation:
The lion-tailed macaque (Macaca silenus), or the wanderoo, is an Old World monkey Physical characteristics.
The hair of the lion-tailed macaque is black. Its outstanding characteristic is the silver-white mane which surrounds the head from the cheeks down to its chin, which gives this monkey its German name Bartaffe - "beard ape". The hairless face is black in colour. With a head-body length of 42 to 61 cm and a weight of 2 to 10 kg, it ranks among the smaller macaques. The tail is medium in length at about 25 cm and has a black tuft at the end that is similar to a lion's tail, although this tuft is more pronounced in males than in females.
Gestation is approximately six months. The young are nursed for one year. Sexual maturity is reached at four years for females, and six years for males. The life expectancy in the wild is approximately 20 years, while in captivity is up to 30 years.[4] It is most closely related to Pigtail Macaque, found in southeast Asia. 20 lakh(2 million) years ago due to the ice age in the northern hemisphere, the vegetation cover of Asia and India drastically reduced due to reduction of monsoon, due to which these two monkeys separated from each other and evolved in different ways and we can see the result.ndemic to the Western Ghats of South India. if it helps please mark as BRAINLIEST DEAR
