Sela Macaque

Macaca selai is a medium sized macaque belonging to the scinia specific group. It is generally more closely related to Arunachal macaque (Macaca munzala), Despite sharing several characteristics, including the robust body built and relatively long dorsal hair, M. selai can be distinguished by its paler face and lighter brown coat, whereas M. munzala typically has a darker face and dark brown fur. These stocky monkeys have dense brownish-yellow fur prominent ears pink face and deep set light brown eyes. Some reports suggest that these macaques are larger than the Arunachal macaques with body length measures between 28-32 inches (71-82 cm). Males are slightly larger than females with larger canines and clearly visible male reproductive organs, making it easy to distinguish sexes apart. However, their lifespan is unknown, but it is assumed that it is similar to other macaques of comparable size, which is 30 years.
