Archaic humans and Barbary macaques co-occur at numerous sites, and it is possible they may have used Barbary macaques as a source of food. [13] [14] The youngest known remains of Barbary macaques in Europe are from Hunas in Bavaria, Germany, dated to 85,000–40,000 years ago.
The monkey's size differs depending on sex and species. Males from all species can range from 41 to 70 cm (16 to 28 inches) in head and body length, and in weight from 5.5 to 18 kg (12.13 to 39.7 lb). [6] Females can range from a weight of 2.4 to 13 kg (5.3 to 28.7 lb).
The peak period of conflict occurs from August–October. Factors associated with accessibility and availability of food and shelter appear to be the key drivers of human-macaque conflict, with an overall increase between the years of 2012 and 2021. [18] One key factor of conflict that directly affects the human-macaque relationship is visibility.

In 1992, Supriatna et al. 1992 conducted an extensive survey and found 6.3–63.2 individuals/km 2. [2] [5] They usually live in groups of 15-40 individuals, [6] with female philopatry and male dispersal and they are diurnal and semi-terrestrial. They spend a lot of their time in trees foraging and on the ground travelling. [7]
The largest threat to the lion-tailed macaque is habitat fragmentation due to large amounts of timber harvesting and exotic plantations, such as tea and coffee. [2] This fragmentation leads to many problems. Lion-tailed macaques are struggling to find food, being hit by cars, and being electrocuted by power lines. [4]
It has an ape-like appearance due to its almost non-existent, non-visible, vestigial tail stub of only approximately 2 cm (0.8 in). [6] Females grow up to 44 to 55 cm (17 to 22 in), and up to 5.5 lb (2.5 kg), while males grow up to 52 to 57 cm (20 to 22 in), and up to 9.5 to 12.7 kg (21 to 28 lb), [ 4 ] it is one of the smaller macaque species.

Only the proboscis monkey and the larger species of gray langur are bigger in-size among Asian monkeys. Males are the larger sex, commonly attaining a weight of 13 to 19.5 kg (29 to 43 lb) and length of 61 to 71 cm (24 to 28 in) long, with a ...
