Barbary macaques live in big groups composed of as many males as females.
Each group has a home-rangeoffering food, water and high trees to be safe from predators.

MoreWhat do the monkeys do in winter?
They stay outside throughout the year. They originate from mountainous regions in North Africa where the winters are cold and snowy. They are well adapted to this climate: they have a long and thick winter coat, they moult in the spring and they have a short summer coat.

Why monkeys are not suitable as pets?
In our home, they will be deprived of their mother’s affection, their friends and their forest environment….
