Females and males have strict dominance hierarchies. Group cohesion is maintained through allogrooming. Group living necessitates complex social communication skills. Habitat — Primary and secondary forests close to water. Locomotion depends on habitat: in South East Asia, arboreal but able to exploit terrestrial habitats; in Mauritius, primarily terrestrial.
Adapted to climbing and leaping up to 5m ; tails are used for balance. Good swimmers may be important for predator avoidance and accessing food. Vertical escape routes utilised to avoid predators 9. Home range — 1. Long distances covered when searching for food. Diet — Diverse, seasonally dependant, primarily frugivorous. Also consume insects, leaves, invertebrates, crabs, frogs, shrimp, bark and clay. Eclectic diet, but selective. Food is transported away from the foraging site for consumption, often to avoid competition from dominant conspecifics Activity is centered on feeding and foraging in the morning and afternoon.
Rest during midday. Enter sleeping trees around h and remain until early morning h Return to same sleeping site each evening. Animals sleep huddled together at the edges of branches to avoid ground-dwelling predators. Branches nearest the top of the tree are chosen, as are trees that border water, predator avoidance involves dropping from trees and swimming away from any potential predators Variable group sizes depending on habitat and ecological conditions.

Indeed, most of the tissue components of the scrotum-like swelling were in fact adipose cells. Upon our latest survey in Thailand, the scrotum-like swellings were observed only in long-tailed macaques inhabiting the Indochinese region, above the Isthmus of Kra.
To understand whether the scrotum-like swelling is related to geographical distribution, further study is necessary. Abstract Female long-tailed macaques Macaca fascicularis living in multimale and multifemale societies show a swelling and reddening of the sexual skin around the anogenital region when they approach ovulation.
