Rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) are most commonly found from western Afghanistan, through India to northern Thailand. This species was abundant historically in southern China and Tibet, but humans have caused drastic decline of populations in these areas over the last sixty years. Macaca mulatta lives in a wide range of habitats, from flatlands up to elevation of 3000m in the Himalayas. They aclimate to a variety of climatic extremes, from the hot, dry temperatures found in deserts, to cold winter temperatures which fall well below the freezing point (animaldiversity.org).
