In fact, females have been known to participate in lesbian activities when they are lactating (and possibly even during pregnancy), indicating an easy compatibility between motherhood and homosexuality in this species.

One female will climb onto the back of her favorite partner, using a position slightly different from heterosexual mating that allows her to rub her genitals against the rump of the female.

Stump-tailed Macaque (Macaca Arctoides)

Location and Habitat

Also known as the bear macaque, the stump-tailed macaque is endemic to south Asia, particularly northeast India -- they can also be found in southwest China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan. Their habitat of choice are tropical and subtropical primary and evergreen forests. These are deeply ancient and ecologically-balanced environments with minimal human influence, rich with essential nutrients that the macaque cannot find elsewhere.

Behaviour and Diet Overview

They are noteworthy for their terrestrial scavenging behaviour, voyaging through forests on the ground instead of through the canopy. They are actually quite clumsy climbers, and will only do so to escape predators and to sleep.

As a frugivore, its diet largely consists of leaves and fresh fruits, although the macaque is also known to eat small creatures such as crabs, birds, frogs, and insects. They are active from dawn to dusk, and spend most of their time traversing the forest floor in search of food.

An interesting feature of the stump-tailed macaque, aside from its lack of a tail, would be its prominent cheek pouches. This is a feature shared with all macaques. Like a squirrel, these expandable pouches allow the macaque to store food for short periods of time, useful for such a terrestrial creature.

Although lacking in climbing abilities, these quadrupedal macaques are surprisingly fast and agile on the floor.

Social Behaviours

Like all macaques, stump-tailed macaques are highly social creatures, and always travel in groups. A troop of stump-tailed macaques can reach numbers of up to fifty or sixty.

Their social structure is also particularly common.

These troops function as a dominance hierarchy; males will aggress one another in order to establish social ranking. Male macaques will thus generally grow larger than females, with larger teeth used as weapons and a symbol of status.

While females will stay within the natal group, males will leave once they have achieved maturity in order to mate. Despite the aggression of their social order, the bear macaques are known as gentle creatures, preferring to escape from predators.

Appearance

Adult stump-tailed macaques have long, sandy to dark-brown fur. Their posteriors and faces are hairless, with their face appearing bright red at first. Sun exposure can turn this skin extremely dark.

As the name suggests, their tails are extremely lacking in length. A stump-tailed macaque’s tail can range from 3-7cm.

Babies are born with very pale fur and skin, allowing them high visibility to the troop. As they mature, their features will darken to align with the adults.

A female adult stump-tailed macaque will generally be 48-58cm tall, weighing from 7.5-9kg. A male, for comparison, often grows to around 52-65cm, with a weight of 10-12.2kg.

Population Status

Like many animal populations, the stump-tailed macaques are considered a vulnerable species. They strongly depend on lush, continuous stretches of forest to survive, and the reduction of forestry to lone islands results in the macaques often wandering out onto roads, into potentially hostile villages, or other dangerous places.

Due to this, their population is decreasing by the day.

Many find themselves in the Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, an ideal (albeit island) forest haven.

hey, long time no see! so i haven't posted anything in 4 years, but i want to get back to posting my art online again. (if you don't recognize my username, i used to go by "arctoids")

i don't have too much going on right now, but i'll add a couple drawings to my queue, just to break the silence. it's been years, so idk how many of you are still left, but i'm posting these mainly for myself.

if you remember me and you're wondering why i've been gone for so long it's because i have health problems (don't worry, i'm not dying or anything!), so i haven't been able to draw very much.

hope ur all doing well! ✌🏻

Most Stumptail females are probably simultaneously bisexual, interspersing heterosexual activity with homosexual activity.

The males may even perform fellatio in a 69 position.
