Scientists find WhiteCheeked Macaque in Arunachal Pradesh

The Zoological Survey of India has recently discovered the presence of White-Cheeked Macaque (Macaca leucogenys) in central Arunachal Pradesh which marked a new addition to mammals of India.

The discovery was considered to be a significant breakthrough as far as primates are concerned.

The mammal was discovered in West Siang district, about 197 kms away from China.White-Cheeked Macaque have white cheeks, long and thick hairs on the neck area, and a longer tail and are quite distinct from other macaques.

Subsequently, the scientists collected multiple pieces of evidence, laid transect and deployed a few camera traps.The species was discovered in 2015 by a group of Chinese scientists from the Modog region in southeastern Tibet.

From India, the species has not been sighted or reported after a single incidence of photographic capture from Anjaw district, Arunachal Pradesh in 2015, which raises controversy about its existence in India among the primatologists.Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) led by Mukesh Thakur were searching for red pandas and Arunachal Macaques in central Arunachal Pradesh when they unknowingly collected a few faecal samples, which on DNA analysis ended up to be White-Cheeked Macaques.
