Macaque Camp is a family group, and each group has its own leader-the Monkey King. The Monkey King is the winner in many battles, and all the other males and females in the group submit to him. He can give priority to eating and mating. When the monkeys grow up, there are two kings and three kings. Every once in a while, there will be a fight among the monkeys, and the winner is still the king.
