The booted macaque (Macaca ochreata) is a macaque of the Sulawesi island, Indonesia. This Old World monkey is diurnal and spends most of the day in the trees.

It is 50–59 cm long plus a tail of 35–40 cm.

The booted macaque feeds on figs, buds, invertebrates and cereals.

Two subspecies of the Booted Macaque are recognized:[1]

Outside of their native Indonesia, the booted macaque is found only at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont, Maryland. A family of booted macaques have been residents there since the 1960s, and are already into their fourth generation in captivity.
