Crab Eating Macaque

Macaca fascicularis

The crab-eating macaque is widely dispersed across the South-East Asian jungles and are found in a variety of different habitats.

Notes:

Photo taken on Monkey beach in Phi Phi Islands Thailand. Monkey is eating a watermelon that a tourist gave the monkey. This beach is a small beach set on one of the limestone islands of Ko Phi Phi in Thailand. The island has a beach called monkey beach as this is where a lot of these monkeys hang out to catch crabs and get free food from all the tourists.
