Barbary Macaque / Barbary Ape / Rock Ape - Adult with young in tree
Gibraltar
Macaca sylvanus
Calling this species an ape is misleading, for though it lacks a tail, as do apes it is in fact a macaque belonging to the old world monkeys.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by John Cancalosi, we witness a heartwarming scene high up in the treetops. A majestic Barbary Macaque adult tenderly cradles its young offspring, showcasing the incredible bond between parent and child. These mischievous mammals are not only adorable but also play an important role in our ecosystem. Found mainly in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco, these fascinating creatures face numerous challenges to their survival. Logging and land clearance for agriculture pose a significant threat to their preferred habitat – the cedar forests at higher altitudes. As human settlements expand and persecution persists, these resilient macaques have been forced into smaller pockets across northern Morocco and Algeria. But fear not! Our furry friends aren't just facing adversity; they're also enjoying life's simple pleasures. With a varied diet that includes leaves, grass, acorns, and caterpillars, they know how to satisfy their taste buds! Living together in groups ranging from 7 to 40 individuals – including adult females, males, and their playful offspring – Barbary Macaques create lively communities that thrive on social interaction. So next time you stumble upon this delightful print by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment featuring these charismatic monkeys cuddling amidst lush greenery - remember their story as guardians of nature's delicate balance. Let it remind us all of the importance of preserving our natural world for generations to come!
