Some species such as the long-tailed macaque (''M. fascicularis''; also called the crab-eating macaque) will supplement their diets with small amounts of meat from shellfish, insects, and small mammals. On average, a southern pig-tailed macaque (''M. nemestrina'') in Malaysia eats about 70 large rats each year. All macaque social groups are arranged around dominant matriarchy, matriarchs. Macaques are found in a variety of habitats throughout the Asian continent and are highly adaptation, adaptable. Certain species are synanthrope, synanthropic, having learned to live ...
