It is found in the southern half of the Malay Peninsula (only just extending into southernmost Thailand), Borneo, Sumatra and Bangka Island. [1] There are reports of the species having been present in Singapore before 1950, but these were likely escaped pets. [13] The only pig-tailed macaques in Singapore today are introduced monkeys. [2]
Macaques are principally frugivorous (preferring fruit), although their diet also includes seeds, leaves, flowers, and tree bark. Some species such as the long-tailed macaque ( M. fascicularis ; also called the crab-eating macaque) will supplement their diets with small amounts of meat from shellfish, insects, and small mammals.

The genus, Anodorhynchus Spix, 1824 [5] is one of six genera of Central and South American macaws in tribe Arini of macaws, parakeets and closely related genera. The macaws and parakeets comprise the clade of long-tailed parrots which with sister clade the short-tailed Amazonian parrots and allies make up subfamily Arinae of Neotropical parrots in family Psittacidae of true parrots.
The majority of the hyacinth macaw diet is composed of nuts from specific palm species, such as acuri and bocaiuva palms. [17] They have very strong beaks for eating the kernels of hard nuts and seeds. Their strong beaks are even able to crack coconuts, the large Brazil nut pods, and macadamia nuts.
In May 2013, it was announced that a team of scientists, led by Dr. Christopher M. Seabury and Dr. Ian Tizard of Texas A&M University had sequenced the complete genome of the scarlet macaw. [5] [6] Based on this genome, species-specific microsatellite genetic markers were developed to aid genetic studies throughout the range of the species. [7]
