Stump-tailed Macaque

The stump-tailed macaque is a robust monkey covered in shaggy, dark-brown hair. Its face is largely hairless and red, becoming darker with sun exposure, while adults of both sexes commonly develop a receding bald area over the crown. Infants are born with pale hair that darkens as they mature. The species has a very short, nearly hairless tail and cheek pouches used to hold food while foraging. Males are larger than females and possess markedly enlarged canine teeth. (Animal Diversity Web)

This macaque inhabits moist tropical and subtropical evergreen forests across Southeast Asia, including China, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Malaysia. It is mainly terrestrial, diurnal, and social, living in hierarchical groups that may contain as many as 60 animals. Members reconcile after conflicts through gestures including embracing, lip-smacking, and teeth-chattering. The species is omnivorous but eats mostly fruit, supplementing its diet with seeds, flowers, roots, leaves, frogs, crabs, birds, and eggs. Groups return to trees for sleeping. (Animal Diversity Web)
