IMG_0450-к. Crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), Bali, Indonesia

            also known as the long-tailed macaque. 

Long-tailed macaques have a long history alongside humans. These monkeys have been alternately seen as agricultural pests, sacred animals in some temples, and more recently, the subject of medical experiments.

They live in matrilineal social groups with a female dominance hierarchy, and male members leave the group when they reach puberty.

Despite their name, crab-eating macaques typically do not consume crabs as their main food source; rather, they are opportunistic omnivores, eating a variety of animals and plants. Although fruits and seeds make up 60 - 90% of their diet, they also eat leaves, flowers, roots, and bark.

Crab-eating macaques use stone tools to open nuts, oysters and other bivalves, and various types of sea snails.
Another instance of tool use is washing and rubbing foods such as sweet potatoes, cassava roots, and papaya leaves before consumption.
