Thailand: A contemplative stump-tailed macaque on Khao Chong Krajok (Mirror Mountain), Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque found in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.

It is generally found in subtropical and tropical broadleaf evergreen forests, in different elevations depending on the amount of rainfall in the area.

It is distributed from northeastern India and southern China into the northwest tip of West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula.
