The Gibraltar Apes Legacy

The famous Barbary macaques are not just wildlife - they're part of Gibraltar's very identity and tradition. Legend has it that if the apes ever leave the Rock, then Britannia will follow suit. So the authorities make sure to keep plenty of these charismatic creatures on hand. A friendly reminder to visitors: Please don't feed the tourists!
