Gibraltar’s Barbary Macaques are the only wild population in Europe and number around 300 animals in 5 family groups. Although their origins are disputed, they probably arrived as pets of the Moors during their occupation of Spain.

Although they are often called Barbary apes or rock apes because they don’t have tails, the Macaques are actually monkeys.
