Abstract: The activity habits of the rhesus monkey at Nanwan Peninsula of Hainan Island were observed from 1981 to 1985. The macaques spent most of their activities in daytime in feeding and moving which peaked from 7:00 a.m.to 10:00 a.m.and from 3:00 p.m.to 5:00 P.M.Foraging routes ranged from 1000 to 2300 M per day,but in rainy days foraging routes were shorter.Sometimes the group separated into two sub-groups to search for foods.Each group had some fixed roosting sites.The group might roost on the same site for one night or several nightes in succession.A group of the animal acted in various line up for preventing infringment of the same kind and menace of the natural enemy. After growing for five or six years, the group could be big enough to separate into two new groups.
