Long-tailed Macaques mating on a muddy bank by the edge of the rainforest. The female appears completely unimpressed as she continues to munch on her fruit. Generally only the dominant male is allowed to mate with the females in a troop. Long-tailed Macaque males either have to challenge for leadership of the family unit or leave to try their luck in another troop. Females fall pregnant for 6 months and have only one baby at a time.
