Rhesus macaques in the Wulingyuan wilderness near Zhangjiajie, China
Sometimes called rhesus monkeys, these macaques are common in both wild and urban areas across Asia. Here in the Wulingyuan wilderness of China, they’ve adapted to the cold winter temperatures, though it’s tough to tell from this photo if they actually enjoy the snow. Rhesus macaques, like chimpanzees, share much of the same genetic material as humans, and were used in research to help decode DNA and the human genome.
