Macaques are Old World monkeys found in Africa and Asia. The most distinguishing feature between Old World monkeys and New World monkeys (those found in the Americas) is that only New World monkeys have prehensile tails that can be used for grabbing and holding.
New World monkeys have prehensile tails. Many Old World monkeys have rump pads and distinctive cheek pouches used to store food, and most have small curved nostrils set close together. Two types of macaques-rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys-have for decades been tragically subjected to cruel biomedical, psychological, and behavioral experiments, such as maternal-deprivation studies and being rocketed to their deaths in space.

Come to think of it, animals world wide, are being endangered by the humans themselves... Do raise your voice....
