Most Beautiful Sri Lankan Monkeys
Monkey is a general name that can refer to many mammals in the order Simiformes, also known as simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group now known as simians were counted as monkeys, except for the apes, an incomplete paraphyletic group.

The toque macaque (/tɒk məˈkæk/; Macaca sinica) is a reddish-brown-coloured Old World monkey endemic to Sri Lanka, where it is known as the rilewa or rilawa (Sinhala: රිළවා), (hence "rillow" in the Oxford English Dictionary). Its name refers to the whorl of hair at the crown of the head, reminiscent of a brimless toque cap.
