Taz

Taz is a Lion-tailed Macaque
Lion-tails are among the smallest macaques, the most arboreal (tree dwelling) and the only macaques to live only in dense rainforests.

Unlike any other macaque, they have a magnificent ruff or mane of golden-grey fur surrounding their all-black faces. The prominent mane occurs in both genders and begins growing in at about 3 months of age. They have a black body and a conspicuous long black tail with a slight tuft of hair on the tip. Face is bare and black in adults, bright pink in the newborn. Males have projecting canines.

This information was found at the website of the Singapore Zoological Gardens.  Read more about macaques HERE

Assamese Macaques have a short tail, and there is no hair on the face. Their color ranges from dark to yellowish-brown.
