Thailand: Long-tailed macaque at the cave temple Wat Tham Suwankhuha, Phang Nga Province

The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is also called the crab-eating macaque. It is native to Southeast Asia. There are at least ten subspecies and depending on subspecies, the body length of the adult monkey is 38-55 centimetres (15–22 in) with comparably short arms and legs. The tail is longer than the body, typically 40–65 cm (16–26 in). Males are considerably larger than females, weighing 5-9 kilograms (11-20 lb) compared to the 3–6 kg (7-13 lb) of female individuals.
