The Crested Black Macaque is an extremely endangered species of monkey found only on a few remote islands in Indonesia. They live in tropical rain forests and are gravely threatened by hunting and habitat loss, having lost 90% of their population in the past 30 years.

They are a medium sized monkey, between one and a half to two feet in length and weigh between 8-23 pounds.  They are all black with a distinctive crest atop their heads and have tiny tails that are so small they are barely visible. Males are larger than females but otherwise are similar in appearance, though females sport a plumper and redder bottom. They also possess a very formidable set of sharp teeth that they will bare to exert dominance or ward off intruders.

Because they decimate crops and do not fear humans, Crested Black Macaques are hunted as a nuisance animal, and their meat is also considered a delicacy.
Fortunately, a single reserve, Tahnkoko, exists as a safe harbor for them, and there they have been able to successfully maintain a healthy population estimated at 100,000. In non protected areas where they live, only a few thousand still exist.
