What is the siberut macaque?
The Siberut macaque (Macaca siberu) is a threatened primate species, belonging to the gregarious Old-World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae. M. siberu is endemic to Siberut Island of the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra, Indonesia, which is encompassed in the biodiversity hotspot of Sundaland. The Siberut macaque was originally conspecific with the Pagai Island macaque (M. pagensis); however, later taxonomic review led the Siberut macaque to be classified as a new distinct species. The local Mentawai people still refer to both the Siberut macaque and the Pagai Island macaque as “Bokkoi”.
