The Philippine long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis philippensis) is a subspecies of the crab-eating macaque, known in various Philippine languages as matching/matsing or the more general term unggoy ("monkey"). It is endemic in the Philippine forests and woodlands, but especially in the mangrove forests of western central Philippines— particularly in Palawan, the Visayas, and Mindanao. The names M. f. philippinensis or even M. f. philippinenesis have also been used, but arise from orthographical error.[2]

Physical characteristics

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 (16–20 in). It is the size of a domestic cat. Male macaques weigh 4–8 kg, but females only attain 3–4 kg.

Distribution and conservation status

The Philippine long-tailed macaque is found in all major Philippine island groups (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao). However, though assessed Near Threatened, it is actually in serious retreat or already extinct in much of its original range.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} For instance, in Olongapo in Zambales Province (western central Luzon), where a patch of old-growth forest remains, the monkeys have found some refuge;{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} however, they are often road killed, accidentally electrocuted by live wires, and sometimes stoned.
