New paper out! Gibraltar Barbary macaques eat soil to prevent against junk food obtained from tourists, and they learn that from each other. Functional and cultural, this behaviour is induced by proximity with humans @cam-archaeology.bsky.social #macaques #gibraltar www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Even in Gibraltar, winter can be quite cold. Here juveniles Barbary macaques huddling each other keeping warm and reinforcing social relationships #Gibraltar #Barbaryapes #Barbarymacaques

Winter is mating season in Barbary macaques, females can develop very large sexual swellings and get lots of attention from males, as here in Apes Den group #Gibraltar #barbarymacaques
