    Today I visited Tregembo Animal Park in Wilmington, North Carolina. One of their animals they have mixed with a Lion-tailed macaque is, according to their signage, an Assam macaque. I tried downloading the pictures i took of the individual and the signage, but it did not work. The specimen itself looks exactly like one (having the same fur and face details.) Are there any known outside of India?

    They aren't endemic to India, you know? I've seen them in multiple zoos in (e.g.) Thailand, Vietnam, China, etc.
