Maximum longevity: 29.2 years (captivity) Observations: It has been estimated, but unconfirmed, that these animals live up to 30 years in the wild (http://www.demogr.mpg.de/longevityrecords). One captive specimen was at least 29.2 years old when it died (Richard Weigl 2005).

Article
The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. In India, they can be found south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country. The range in India extends from Assam and Meghalaya to eastern Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
These monkeys are primarily frugivorous but eat many types of vegetation, including seeds, leaves, and roots. They also hunt freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.
