Among several monkey species Macaca nemestrina which is commonly known as pig-tailed macaque exists in a small number within the forests of Tripura. The pig-tailed macaque lives in groups, where various numbers of male and female individuals remains. A social interaction exists among the family members of the groups. The activity pattern during this study showed a kind of communal interaction remains among the family members within the whole family of pig-tailed macaque monkey, but the foraging and feeding activity showed discrete nature of behaviour within the same group.The analysis of various activity time recorded presented the maximum devotion of this species towards resting   (49.87%) followed by movement (26.55%). Other indirect social behaviour observed like allo-grooming, auto-grooming, playing and fighting comprises7.90%, 8.04%, 4.00% and 3.58% respectively. During sunny day’s macaque’s activity like resting time is high compared to others activity. The preferable enlisted food choices in natural habitat give an idea of their feeding habit. Such behavioral studies on pig-tailed macaque may be helpful for creating conservation strategies, as destruction of their natural habitat and food sources are increasing day by day.These findings are key indicators for taking conservation strategies of the concern species.</jats:p>","journal":"IIP Series","year":2023,"id":605489,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1553975,"name":"Abhijit Roy","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1553976,"name":"Dipak Das","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1553974,"name":"Samik Acharjee","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"resolved":true,"title":"BEHAVIOURAL STUDY OF MACACA NEMESTRINA, A WILD MONKEY SPECIES OF TRIPURA","abstract":"<jats:p>Tripura, a small hill locked state of north-eastern part of India lies under the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot region, where large number of monkey species present belonging to class Mammalia.
