The two male and four female Sulawesi crested macaques are set to depart Thursday. At the request of the destination zoo, the Buffalo Zoo is not releasing any more information until the troop has settled into its new home.

Theirs is the most endangered of the seven macaque species that live on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. Although they have no major predators, they're hunted for their meat, which is considered a delicacy.
