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]
- Macaca ochreata ochreata
- Muna-Buton Macaque, Macaca ochreata brunnescens
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.
