In Sumatra, each social group of Long Tailed macaques contains an average of 5.7 males and 9.9 adult females.
Females outnumber males, indicating that males have more mates available to them than do females, both sexes may mate with multiple partners.
The alpha male, or highest ranking male, of the group has the greatest access to mates of any males, and sires the most offspring.
As in all primates, there is an extended period of juvenile dependence. Long Tailed macaque females provide the bulk of the care for offspring.
The young receive nourishment, encouragement, grooming, protection, and teaching from the mother. Young females are likely to remain in the troup into which they were born, whereas males are likely to emmigrate at or near sexual maturity.
