The Macaque apes are funny little creatures. The Barbary apes are the only wild population of apes in Europe. Originally from the Atlas Mountains and the Rif Mountains of Morocco, began appearing on Gibraltar during the Islamic period. On the island they are referred to as apes, but they are also a monkey although have no tails.
They are social and spend time in groups known as a troop, often seen grooming as these 3 are. The Gibraltar Barbary macaques are considered the prime attraction for tourists visiting Gibraltar.
