EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1970s, captures a precious moment between a little girl and a Gibraltar Barbary Macaque. The Upper Rock of Gibraltar serves as their natural habitat, and these primates, locally known as Barbary Apes or Rock Apes, are actually Old World monkeys, not apes. The girl, with her innocent expression and curious gaze, sits next to the macaque, trying to imitate its mannerisms. The animal, with its serious expression and slightly parted lips, seems to be engaging in the playful interaction. The rough stone wall in the background adds to the historical charm of the image, transporting us back in time. The girl's denim jumpsuit and the 70s hairstyle are clear indicators of the era. This heartwarming scene of a child connecting with nature and an exotic animal is a testament to the enduring fascination these creatures hold for people, especially for children. The Gibraltar Barbary Macaque, scientifically known as Macaca sylvanus, is a rare and fascinating species, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into their history and the way they have captivated people's imaginations for generations.
