The crab-eating macaques are native to Southeast Asia. Their geographical range spreads across this entire tropical region.

They thrive near human settlements and in secondary forests. People have developed a variety of cultural perceptions about them. They view them as smart, adaptive, sacred, or even as pests in some cases. Locals in Indonesia and Malaysia know them and other macaque as kera.

This species has several common names. People often refer to it as the long-tailed macaque due to its tail length. Their tail matches the length of their body and head combined.

The name crab-eating macaque refers to people seeing them foraging beaches for crabs. Laboratories use another common name for them, which is the cynomolgus monkey. This primate is the most traded primate species. It is also the most popular species for scientific research.

They are omnivores and frugivorous. Their diet includes fruits, insects, crabs, and small animals found along the coastlines. These highly intelligent primates use stone tools in daily foraging. They live in matrilineal groups ranging from 10 to 85 individuals. Males always emigrate from their natal group at puberty.
