🐒Lion-tailed Macaque
Le macaque à queue de lion, aussi appelé ouandérou ou silène (Macaca silenus), est une espèce de macaques arboricoles du sud-ouest de l'Inde. C'est une espèce endémique des forêts pluviales des montagnes des Ghâts occidentaux, longeant le Deccan, un vaste plateau de l'Inde, s'étendant sur la majeure partie de l'Inde centrale et méridionale. Son autre nom de silène, issu de son nom scientifique, a été attribué par le naturaliste suédois Carl von Linné en 1758. Il fait référence au satyre Silène, une divinité mineure de la mythologie grecque.
