Crab-eating macaque in Bako National Park, Malaysia
If ever there was a perfect mascot for Dentist’s Day, celebrated on March 6, it’s the crab-eating macaque. This species is native to Southeast Asia and it has a proclivity for using tools to forage, eat and even practise dental hygiene. Scientists have observed crab-eating macaques using blades of grass, fibres and feathers to floss between their teeth. Give this macaque a gold star!
