Field Notes

Description:

'It has a long history alongside humans; they have been alternately seen as agricultural pests, sacred animals in some temples, and more recently, the subject of medical experiments. The crab-eating macaque lives in matrilineal social groups with a female dominance hierarchy and male members leave the group when they reach puberty.'

Habitat:

rainforest, widespread in SE Asia

Notes:

I spotted these near the entrance to Dairy Farm nature reserve.
