Barbary macaque

The Barbary macaque is a 4-seasons monkey, usually found north of the Sahara desert and in Europe.

A highly social individual, it lives in groups and feeds on fruit, leaves, bark, bulbs and mushrooms, as well as insects and other small invertebrates. At night, they climb into the trees to sleep, safe from predators…

With fewer than 10,000 individuals in the wild, the species has been considered in danger of extinction since 2008, yet it has no European breeding program, only a European studbook (second level of European breeding program for endangered species).
