The Barbary macaque[1], also called the Magot macaque, is a macaque endemic to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and Algeria and a small introduced population in Gibraltar.
- A thick, silky layer of yellowish-brown to gray fur covers the Barbary macaque’s body; its lower part is lighter.
- Their narrow nose and deep pink face are devoid of fur.
- Like all macaques, the species has long canines, powerful jaws, and cheek pouches (storing snacks).
- The front limbs of these old-world monkeys are relatively more extended than the hind legs.
