Barbary Apes of Gibraltar


My blog would not be complete without mentioning the Barbary Apes of Gibraltar. The apes are a tail-less breed of monkey whose natural habitat is in the mountains of Morocco and Algeria. They were most probably first brought here by the British in the early eighteenth century. They live at the top of the 'Rock'. If you ever visit Gibraltar, watch out because they do like Oreo cookies!!!
