DescriptionPig tailed macaques drop by for scraps (11464093795).jpg
The pig tailed macaques are stock animals, and seemed to co-exist with their closer cousins, the long tailed macaques, and also with their more distinct cousins, the orangutans themselves. Here the 'pig tail' of the pig tailed macaque is clearly visible. There are two species of pig tailed macaques- the Northern and the Southern. The Southern Pig-tailed Macaque inhabits primary forest, but will venture to adjacent cultivated areas in search of fruit. In common with other macaques its diet may include small vertebrates and invertebrates. Pig tailed macaques are of stocky build with creamy-brown fur on the flanks, darker fur along the back, white underparts, and dark brown fur on the crown. Troupes of up to 40 animals are documented, but typically group size is around 10 animals or so. Mixed troupes with other macaques may also be seen. Traditionally this species of macaque is trained to climb coconut trees and to twist off the ripe coconuts with their strong hands. (Sepilok Orang Utan Rehab.
