Hi PareshDalal! The location and the whirl of hair radiating from the center of the head make this monkey a Bonnet macaque, not a Rhesus macaque. For description and habitat, we ask you kindly to not copy/paste information straight from Wikipedia. You can use the reference field to link to Wikipedia. Here's some help from our FAQ page:
"Description: This is where you can add details that may not be clear in the photograph, such as approximate size, which will help in identifying the organism. For animals and birds, you could describe their actions as you saw them, e.g. did they run, walk, hop, swim, dive; were they alone, in pairs, small groups large groups. If there are differences between the males and females but your photo only shows one you could explain these. It is not necessary to copy lengthy descriptions from reference sources here as there is a 'reference links' box for this purpose.

Habitat: Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box. "
