Hello Wildlife Lovers, I have joined the Buy Me a Coffee platform. If you enjoyed the video and you would like to be a part of the conservation work that I do in Thailand, then please consider..... buying me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/thailandwild
I assume you can tell from my accent that I am from the UK.... if so, you might be surprised to learn that a lot of people think I am Dutch or Scandinavian!!! Anyway, I used to be a stills photographer.... gardens, plants, wild orchids and butterflies... that kind of thing... in the UK, but I have never filmed wildlife there. I changed over to video after I came out here to Thailand and realised that I was much better at it than I ever was at still photos.
Fantastic video Mr Sweetland, and please do forgive me for the very extended absence, life alone gets in the way of many things, splendid cinematography as usual, but again that's the quality i expect from this channel. i wonder with the wide variety of primates coexisting in the same patch of forest, would the stumpies usually get along reasonably well with the other primates, gibbons, langurs, other macaques and the like, usually in a biome with limited resources, one would expect there to be substantial competition within species of the same niche…. so much for " love thy neighbour….
Yes, interesting question. I have never seen an interaction between the stumpies and other primates. I imagine that given their size and the size of their troop that the langurs stay out of their way. If you saw my clip on the small-toothed palm civet in Khao Yai National Park, I mentioned that the civet was very wary of the stump-tailed macaques there, and indeed one macaque did try to chase the civet out of the fig tree. But as you probably know, even us humans need to be wary of those damn macaques in places like Khao Yai!
WOW! Amazing! Your videos never disappoint! Thank you so much for sharing! You got some amazing shots and the one @2:20 really impresses me! Thank you also for the information about the tree and how it can correlate with hair loss. Learn something new every day!
Thank you so much. I always love spending time with these macaques and missed them on some of my visits to Kaeng Krachan at the end of last year, so I was so happy to catch up with them again this time. Here is a link to information on the species of tree that I referred to...... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucaena_leucocephala
@@thailandwild4897 Very interesting. I have learned that stumpys just tend to have hair loss, especially with age. Seems like this tree can accelerate the hair loss. Some of those bald macaques seemed quite young and excessively bald which makes sense with what they are eating. Very interesting thank you for the link. Have you ever eaten it?
@@ExploitedMonkey Actually I haven't even though as a vegan I normally love to try any kind of plant material. For example, on my conservation project there is an edible fern next to the river that is just assume flash fried with garlic and soy sauce. There is also another kind of been, sometimes cold stink bean that grows in pods similar to the white leadtree, but which is not only edible but outrageously delicious.... at least to some people. It is bitter, and so not to everyone's liking. But to return to the white leadtree I was inspired by your question to seek further information about edibility, and here is another interesting link: www.eattheweeds.com/leucaena-leucocephala-food-and-fodder-2/
@@thailandwild4897 Asia has such interesting produce. Some are just the strangest, alien looking fruits. I hope to visit one day and try some of these things. "Jumbie Bean was taken to the Philippines in the 1500’s by the Spanish," I wonder if it's possible that the tree has been invasive long enough to affect the DNA of stump-tailed macaques where they now genetically have balding. I'm not even sure that's possible. It's just a random thought, but it's a thinker. haha!
Well, the DNA itself won't have changed other than by natural selection over the generations, and I would imagine that since the beans can also cause infertility that there would have been a trend over time to favour individuals who are least affected by them, or who learn to eat them in moderation or not at all. On top of that though, epigenetic changes might be possible within the lives of individuals where the same DNA is still present, but genes are switched on and off in a different way in response to the diet. I've attached a link to the fascinating science of epigenetics. FYI my background is evolutionary genetics, and my son studied a lot of epigenetics as part of his degree recently. medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/howgeneswork/epigenome/#:~:text=Epigenetics%20is%20the%20study%20of,are%20turned%20on%20or%20off.
Another great Video Darryl, fascinating creatures. Were they aware of your presence? or did you have to set yourself up in a hide. They seemed very relaxed and behaving naturally. Thanks for sharing, Cheers Phil
Thank you, Phil. Actually, this is the fourth time that I have filmed this troop and they have always been really chill. I was quite nervous the first time, especially as I had my daughter with me and I had heard that this species has been known to be aggressive in some locations. We saw them on a road feeding as they went, so I drove on ahead and we set up the cameras. Amazingly, the macaques just kept coming and coming. We stayed very still, and they ended up just feeding all around us. Each encounter since then has been the same. I've noticed that usually there are one or two large males sitting on the ground watching over proceedings, but I've never seen aggression from them. I do like filming from hides, but it really isn't necessary with these guys.
By the way Phil.... you need to pull your finger out mate and get some more stuff online. I think I've gone through most of your clips.... some of the longer clips two or three times!!! I do a 45 minute walk in the fitness room each morning.... and I travel Australia with you as I walk.
@@thailandwild4897 My docos take me months to produce, so its going to be a bit of a wait unfortunately. In 3 weeks we are heading back into central Australia on a filming expedition. We are chartering a Cessner that is going to fly over Lake Eyre (with the door off!) so i can video the once in a decade filling of Australia's great inland lake. Thanks for watching all my vids, I'm just not as prolific as some.
@@IntotheWildFilms Of course, I appreciate that Phil... just kidding you. I was amazed that you have managed so much content in the last couple of years to be honest. I am anticipating my first full-length doc to take about a year.... even though I already have quite a lot of footage already. The trip to central Australia sounds fantastic. I hope you get wonderful shots of the lake. I am scared of heights, but I once had to film whales in South Africa from a helicopter. The pilot took the door off and then proceeded to put duct tape all around the seat belt fastener. When we reached the bay I realised why. He tipped the helicopter almost on its side and proceeded to circle the bay so that I could film almost straight down at the whales. Awesome experience!!!
Dakujem za vysvetlenie, vsimla som si, ze niektore opice su akoby lyse, chyba im cast srsti, prava alopetia. Tento druh makakov patri medzi moje oblubene a tento kanal je jediny, kde ich mozno vidiet vo volnej prirode, v ich prirodzenom prostredi. Vzdy mi je smutno, ked vidim, ako su chovane ako domace zvierata. Pritom je to ohrozeny druh a pokial viem, v niektorych azijskych krajinach je trestne drzat ich v zajati. No cierny obchod s nimi prekvita. Prajem vela uspechov vo vasej praci.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and informed observations. Yes, overall stump-tailed macaques are listed as vulnerable. All six macaques species are protected under Thailand's wildlife law, and there are large areas of protected habitat, like Kaeng Krachan National Park. I'm sure you will also be happy to learn that I have recently found them in two new locations in the West of Thailand, so it seems that they are increasing in numbers there and spreading to a new national park. If I get some film of them there, I will put it on the channel for sure..... so watch out for that.
Thanks a lot...we are LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW VIDEOS ABOUT THEM ...THEY ARE SO INTERESTING WITH THE CUTEST BABY MONKEYS OF ALL THE MONKEYS...so the video of the other animals makes us sad because they stole your time to film them.
If you look in the description you will see links to four other videos featuring macaques - three of them are about stump-tailed macaques, and the other one looks at Assamese macaques. Also, there is a link for more information about macaques and their distribution in Thailand. Thank you so much for your comment.
Yes.... I am so sorry. I haven't been able to go back to Kaeng Krachan NP since that last video..... It has been raining a lot here since the start of May, and that always makes it more difficult for filming, but only today I was thinking that I should try to get back there in the next week or two to see if I can film those stumpies. Incidentally, a friend was there today and got some film of two leopards walking together...... I would love to see that!!!
Though some mammal and bird species, and even some fish species have some form of hierarchy, which may include an alpha female or male or both, most species, being solitary, do not have any form of hierarchy. That would include all reptiles and amphibians, and most arthropods for example.

Ein bezauberndes Video. Ich liebe Stumpfschwanzmakaken. Sie sind sehr schlau und haben eine herzliche Persönlichkeit. ❤
Hello Darryl,an interesting and nice movie of you and good storytelling!! Greetings Gijs

Thank you so much. I was originally a Biologist, so it is always nice for me to learn a lot about the animals and plants that I film.

Macaques are so interesting, our lil cousin's!❤❤❤❤
Yes, indeed. They really are fascinating, and as you say, they are family.
