The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is a monkey. It is mostly native to Southeast Asia. It is also called the cynomolgus monkey, Philippine monkey, and the long-tailed macaque.

In 2018, scientists in China cloned the crab-eating macaque. They named the two baby monkeys Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua.^[6]
