Brief Introduction

Majorities of the Hong Kong Macaques are commonly found in Kam Shan and Lion Rock Country Parks. You might have seen them when you visited these Country Parks. Rhesus macaques in the Kowloon Hills area were not descendents of the origional wild stock but released during the First World War time. The release was related to the construction work of the Kowloon Reservoir, which was completed in 1913.
