crab-eating macaque
The crab-eating macaque, also known as the long-tailed macaque, is a primate species found primarily in Southeast Asia. These monkeys are adaptable and thrive in various habitats, including forests, mangroves, and urban areas. They are known for their intelligence and social behavior, often living in large groups.
Crab-eating macaques have a varied diet that includes fruits, seeds, and small animals, but they are particularly famous for their ability to catch and eat crabs. Their long tails help them maintain balance while navigating through trees and rocky terrains, making them agile foragers in their natural environment.
