Behavior
The Formosan rock monkey is the most well-known mammal in
Taiwan. They are adaptive to a wide variety of environment and
are widely spread on the island. Their populations are still
abundant. They have been classified as preserved animals and
can not be captured because they are species endemic to Taiwan.
In lower mountain ranges where their habitats and human developments
overlap, they sometimes do damage to crops and cause farmers
troubles. Sometimes they are captured to be pets.
Habitat:
Formosan Rock-monkeys are endemic to Taiwan and widely spread
in mountain areas at altitudes around 100-3,000m.They can adapt
to environment modified by human, but they mainly inhabit thick
natural forests and prefer rocks where they can overlook the
landscape or places near water sources. They feed on fruit and
tender leaves. |
