The Crab eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) lives in South-east Asia. It is also known for the fact that it is one of the monkey species flown into space. Despite its name, it practically is an omnivore and eats anything it can get its hands to. Its diet is composed of fruits and seeds by 60 - 90%. Where crab-eating macaques live close to humans, this omnivorous behavior will become a problem and the macaque is seen as a crop-raider and a litterer, pushing over garbage cans to look into them for food. The Crab-eating Macaque's native range is the widest of any monkey. Partly because the wild harvest of macaques for medical testing has ended, because these are captive-bred now... Depending on the source, they are "near threatened" or "Lower Risk - Not Threatened". Image by Andrew Lih, licensed under ShareAlike 2.0.

Facts about the long-tailed macaque
A stereotaxic brain atlas of the longtailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is presented in a format suitable for use as a template atlas of the macaque brain. It includes most of the brain segmented to show the boundaries of landmark structures such that every point in the brain can be represented by a unique set of coordinates in three-dimensional space and ascribed unambiguously to one and only one primary structure. More than 400 structures are represented, including 360 volumetric structures, which constitute the substance of the brain, and 50 superficial features. To facilitate use with ventriculography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other noninvasive imaging techniques, the stereotaxic space is referenced to internal landmarks, viz., the anterior commissure and posterior commissure; the center of the anterior commissure at the midline is the origin of the stereotaxic axes. Reference of stereotaxis to this bicommissural (Full text)
