Tibetan macaque Tibetan macaque The Tibetan macaque ("Macaca thibetana"), also known as the Chinese stump-tailed macaque or Milne-Edwards' macaque, is found from eastern Tibet east to Guangdong and north to Shaanxi in China. It has also been reported from northeastern India. This species lives in subtropical forests (mixed deciduous to evergreen) at altitudes from above sea level. There are four recognized subspecies: The Tibetan macaque is the largest species of macaque and one of the largest monkeys found in Asia. Only the proboscis monkey and the larger species of gray langur come close to match their size among Asian monkeys. Males are
Crab-eating macaque and "M. f. condorensis" is vulnerable. All other subspecies are listed as data deficient and need further study; although recent work is showing "M. f. aurea" and "M. f. karimondjawae" need increased protection. One concern for conservation is, in areas where "M. fascicularis" is not native, their populations need to be monitored and managed to reduce their impact on native flora and fauna. The genome of the crab-eating macaque has been sequenced. On 24 January 2018, scientists in China reported in the journal "Cell" the creation of two crab-eating macaque clones, named "Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua", using the complex
