Animals

Macaques are highly intelligent and adaptable primates that thrive in a wide range of environments, including wetlands and mangrove forests. These social animals are known for their curiosity and problem-solving skills, which help them navigate complex wetland ecosystems.

In wetlands, macaques feed on fruits, leaves, insects, and even shellfish. Some species, like the crab-eating macaque, have developed unique skills to forage for crabs and other aquatic prey in mangroves. Their ability to swim and climb trees makes them perfectly suited to this environment.

However, macaques often come into conflict with humans as their habitats shrink due to agriculture and urbanization. Protecting wetlands and educating communities about coexistence are critical for ensuring the survival of these intelligent primates.
