The Lion-tailed Macaque is endemic to

The Lion-tailed Macaque is endemic to the rainforests of the Nilgiris and the wider Western Ghats.

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands host their own distinct fauna, not this macaque.

Lakshadweep is a coral atoll group without the rainforest habitat this monkey needs.

Arunachal Pradesh lies in the eastern Himalaya, outside the macaque's range.

The species depends on dense, undisturbed evergreen forest canopy.

Habitat fragmentation has made the Lion-tailed Macaque an endangered primate.
