Long-tailed Macaque

Macaca fascicularis

Long-tailed Macaque

Adult long-tailed macaques live in forests, mangroves, plantations, coastal areas, and cities, often moving easily between trees and the ground. They are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on fruit, seeds, leaves, insects, shellfish, crabs, and human-provided foods. Adults use quick climbing, threat displays, bites, and loud calls during disputes or defense. A notable trait is their ability in some populations to use stones as tools to crack open shellfish and nuts.
