Long-tailed macaque

The long-tailed macaque is a species of monkey found in Southeast Asia, recognized by its distinctive long tail, which is often longer than its body. They are highly adaptable, living in various habitats like forests, urban areas, and temples. These primates are social animals, forming groups called troops, and are omnivorous, eating fruits, insects, and small animals. Known for their intelligence, long-tailed macaques use tools and communicate through vocalizations and gestures. They play a significant role in their ecosystems as seed dispersers but can also be considered pests due to their interactions with human environments.
