Macaque Monkey In India - Animal India

Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and Assamese macaque (Macaca assamensis) monkeys are observed in the Sevoke area, particularly around the Sevoke Kali Mandir near the banks of the Teesta River, a location known as ''Monkey Hill'' or ''Sevoke Hill''. The monkeys are often seen on the railings by the riverside and near the bridge, interacting with visitors and frequently foraging for food. They are active near residential areas and forest edges within the protected Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, often feeding on trees or taking food left by commuters and visitors. A macaque mother and her baby, along with other monkeys, sit on the railing on the banks of the Teesta River, occasionally startled by the sound of passing vehicles, causing them to hang from the wall to hide, peeking out furtively in Sevoke, West Bengal, India, on April 19, 2026.
