Macaque Monkeys of Batu Caves

Hindus allow monkeys to roam freely in their temples, because they believe the monkeys serve their gods. We saw dozens of them at the Batu Caves.
These are long-tailed macaque (macaca fascicularis), a native of Southeast Asia. They are also known as cynomolgus monkeys or crab-eating macaque. In spite of their name, they are omnivores. Their primary diet is fruit, but they eat whatever tourists give them.
