Pig-tailed macaque

Pig-tailed macaque

The pig-tailed macaques are two macaque sister species. They look almost identical and are best distinguished by their parapatric ranges:

* Northern Pig-tailed Macaque, "Macaca leonina" (Bangladesh to Vietnam, south to northern Malaysia)
* Southern Pig-tailed Macaque or Beruk, "Macaca nemestrina" (Northern Malaysia and southern Thailand to Borneo and western Indonesia)
