rhesus
South Asian monkey
Rhesus refers to a type of macaque monkey native to South Asia, widely used in medical research.
The rhesus factor (Rh factor) in blood typing was discovered through experiments on these monkeys: She's Rh-negative, so they'll monitor the pregnancy closely.
Blood is typed as Rh-positive or Rh-negative depending on whether this protein is present on red blood cells.
