Macaca mulatta

The rhesus macaque is a species that lives all the way from the eastern Middle East to eastern Asia. They are very comfortable around human cities and, when not living in a forest, live there. They commonly steal things from people, such as when they sit down and put their drink next to them. Due to their influence on people and how they live in cities, they have taken a part in mythology, with Sun Wukong being partially based off of them, as well as other macaque species.
==Name==
The name rhesus is said to be made up by the namer of the species, Jean-Baptiste Audebert.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rhesus_macaque&oldid=1184593373 They have a number of archaic English names, such as "bruh" from Malay and various spellings of Hindi's "bandar".https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bandar#English The genus name Macaca is more thoroughly described in its wiki article. I'm not sure about the intentions of mulatto, but it is feminine (going along with Macaca's trend) and describes a mix breed. In English the term describes a person of mixed black and white ancestry, especially those that are hispanic.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mulatto&oldid=1183673970 I wonder if this is in part because rhesus macaques can be white or blondish-brown? Or perhaps because they hybridize with other species like Macaca fascicularis? Or commentary on the human-animal boundary of nature that macaques showcase?
==Subspecies==
Because nomenclature scientists suck at their jobs, they are said to be loosely based into two subgroups: South/West Asian subspecies and East Asian subspecies. But Wikipedia isn't actually separating them and relegating only the "Chinese" subspecies. Here they are.
