PLUSH PIG-TAILED MACAQUE National Geographic art. 770816
Pigtail macaques are considered frugivorous because a majority of their diet is comprised of various fruits. However, these animals also consume insects, seeds, young leaves, leaf stems, dirt, and fungus. Troops of pig-tailed macaques can range anywhere from 9 to 81 individuals, making it easier for smaller groups (around 2 to 6 macaques) to roam the Asian rain forests and forage together.
