Appearance
The Philippine long-tailed macaque has a reddish brown coat. Its tail has an average length of 50 cm to 60 cm. It can reach a height of 40–50 cm . It is the size of a domestic cat. Male macaques weigh 4–8 kg, but females only attain 3–4 kg.Distribution
The Philippine long-tailed macaque is found on all major Philippine islands . However, though assessed Near Threatened, it is actually in serious retreat or already extinct in much of its original range. For instance, in Olongapo in Zambales Province , where a patch of old-growth forest remains, the monkeys have found some refuge; however, they are often road killed, accidentally electrocuted by live wires, and sometimes stoned.Status
