Macaca sylvanus (Linnaeus 1758)

No place like in mother's hands. We found the Barbary Macaques to be exciting. They live in the Atlantic Cedar forests of the Median Atlas Mountains. Its a pity the tourist give them peanuts, they naturally feed on cedar bark and young shoots.

Barbary macaques are the only living macaque found outside Asia.
