Gibraltar Monkey Photos
The
Monkeys of the Rock of Gibraltar, on the south coast of Spain, is
a beacon on the narrow strait separating Africa from Europe. The
monkeys inhabit dens in high reaches on the rock, commonly called
"Rock Apes" in Gibraltar. The monkeys are actually Barbary
macaques (Macaca sylvanus). |

In
addition to the pack readily seen around the Apes Den, there are
five other packs living wild on the steep slopes of the Rock. The
monkeys of Gibraltar that the visitor sees are very tame and quite
cheeky, often climbing on unsuspecting tourists and onto the taxis
that bring the tourists to the top of the rock to see them. |
