🐒Crab-eating macaque
Makak jávský (Macaca fascicularis), také makak obecný nebo opice jávská je úzkonosý primát z čeledi kočkodanovití (Cercopithecidae) a rodu makak (Macaca). Druh popsal Thomas Stamford Raffles roku 1821. Jeho anglický název crab-eating macaque poukazuje na to, že se tento druh občas přiživí i kraby nebo měkkýši, větší část potravy však tvoří různá semena a jiná rostlinná potrava. Samci se od samic liší velikostí a „knírem“. Ve skupině se projevuje matrilineární hierarchie, samci tlupu opouštějí po dosažení puberty. Na ostrově Bali byl makak jávský uctíván jako božstvo a lidé pro něj stavěli chrámy. Dnes je široce rozšířen v jihovýchodní Asii, kde se rozčlenil do několika poddruhů. Ve volné přírodě se vyskytuje především v různých typech lesů. Nebojí se vody, dovede výtečně plavat a hledá v ní i část své potravy. Je používán jako laboratorní zvíře, na kterém se testují léky proti různým chorobám.
