Crab-eating Macaques perched on a fallen tree

Crab-eating Macaques behaving just like youngsters everywhere . . . two young Crab-eating Macaques sit perched on a fallen log in the rainforest. Crab-eating Macaques are very sociable animals, constantly playing and interacting with each other. They live in family groups consisting of anywhere from just a few to up to 60 members. Native to Southeast Asia, Crab-eating Macaques are also known as Cynomolgus Monkeys which literally means "Dog Milker Monkey".
