rhesus monkey
Lab test subject
A rhesus monkey is a small, sturdy macaque native to South and Central Asia, widely used in medical and biological research.
Rhesus monkeys were central to the discovery of the Rh factor in blood—the "Rh" derives from their name.
They adapt readily to human environments and are common in temples and urban areas across India.
