What are you doing Macaque! Oh you better not catch that adorable little one. Whatever it is, it is much cuter than you. Don’t be jealous.
Look at his haughty expression
Every year, more than 100000 monkeys and apes are used for biomedical research around the world. A great percentage of those primates are species of macaques.
Nearly all (73-100%) pet and captive macaques are carriers of the herpes B virus.
But they have their revenge from time to time -
Frighteningly long list of primate attacks on owners.
This is my favorite one.
June 3, 1995/Hollidaysburg, Pa.: An escaped “pet” monkey grabbed a kitchen knife and cigarette lighter, holding police at bay for nearly two hours. The monkey ran through the house and bit two women.

And infected them with the rage virus.
