The Assam catarrhine (Macaca assamensis) is a catarrhine of the recent World monkey family native to South and geographic region. Since 2008, the species has been listed as Near vulnerable by IUCN, as it is experiencing significant declines because of searching, habitat degradation and fragmentation.[2]The Assam catarrhine has a yellowish-grey to dark brown coat. The facial skin is dark brownish to purple. The head encompasses a dark fringe of hair on the cheeks directed backwards to the ears. The shoulders, head and arms tend to be paler than the hindquarters, which area unit grayish. The tail is  short. Head-to-body-length measures 50to seventy three.4.5 cm (20.1 to 28.9 in), and the tail is 15 to thirty cm ( to 11.8 in) long. Adult weight is 5 to ten kilo .The  "Nepal population" is endemic to Kingdom of Nepal and probably in how distinct from the 2 recognized taxonomic category, which occupy adjacent areas to the southeast and east of the vary of M. assamensis. There is a spot in northeastern India between the 2 main population pockets, specifically between central Bhutan and the side of the Brahmaputra River; the east bank of its higher course marks the division between the 2 recognized subspecies:[4]

The eastern Assamese catarrhine, M. a. assamensis, occurs in Asian nation, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, in northeastern India, into northern Myanmar, southeast through the Myanmar-Thailand border  as far as  Guangxi, Guizhou, Tibet and Yunnan in  China, in Thateng in northern Laos, and Hoi Xuan in northern Vietnam;
The western Assamese macaque, is found from central Nepal through Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim, Assam and north West Bengal in northern Asian nation, into central Bhutan and the Sundarbans in People's Republic of Bangladesh.
During surveys carried out in  Nepal, Assam macaques were found to be patchily distributed on rivers in tropical and semitropic forests at altitudes from two hundred to one,800 metres , west of the Kaligandaki stream.[5] In India, they live in tropical and subtropical  forests, dry deciduous  from the sea level to altitudes of four,000 metres (13,000 ft).[6] They usually inhabit hill areas higher than one,000 m (3,300 ft), but within the wetter east they'll occur even in the lowlands. In Laos and Vietnam, they prefer high altitudes, usually higher than five hundred m (1,600 ft). In forests on limestone , they occur in much lower elevations. They are omnivorous  and go after fruits, leaves, invertebrates and cereals in, Arunachal Pradesh, 15 teams were recorded in 2002 comprising 209 people. The population had a group density of one.11 people per one km2 (0.39 sq mi), and an average cluster size of thirteen.93 people.[7] During a survey in Nepal's Langtang National Park and khapthad national park in 2007, a total of 213 Assamese macaques were encountered in 9 teams within the study space of 113 km2 (44 sq mi). Troop sizes varied between 13 and thirty five people, with a mean troop size of 23.66 people, and comprised 31% adult females, 16% adult males, and their young of various ages. They preferred maize kernals, but conjointly raided fields with wheat, buckwheat, and millet.[8]Macaca assamensis is listed in CITES Appendix II. It is legally protected altogether countries of prevalence.
