In Morocco, the Barbary macaques, also known as Barbary macaques, are one of the most interesting animal species. These monkeys are the last wild macaques in North Africa and live mainly in the densely wooded areas of the Atlas Mountains and the Rif Mountains. They are characterised by their striking brown fur, red and yellow faces and distinctive intelligence.
Barbary macaques are sociable and live in groups that often consist of up to 50 animals. Their behaviour is particularly fascinating - not only are they extremely curious, they are also able to use tools to get food. These monkeys are known for their close connection to the environment, and their playfulness and social interactions are a common reason for tourists to visit the forests in Morocco.
These images capture the Barbary macaques in their natural habitat - whether jumping from tree to tree, foraging for food in the vastness of the forests or interacting with each other. Despite their popularity with tourists, these animals remain an important part of the Moroccan ecosystem. Their presence is a reminder of the wild beauty and deep connection between man and nature.
