释义 | macaque (once / 67156 pages) n A macaque is a kind of monkey that lives in Asia and North Africa. Macaques are known for their long faces and complex social behaviors. There are more than twenty species of macaques, and they're the most widespread of the primates — you might see a macaque in Japan, Afghanistan, or India. Barbary macaques are known for their family structures, in which the males help raise and care for the babies, while rhesus macaques are so common in some cities that they're seen as pests. Macaque is French, from the Portuguese for "monkey," macaco, which was originally a Bantu word brought to Portugal from Africa.
