Baby Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus)
A baby macaque watches on nervously, as its mother charges towards a newly arrived cable car at the summit of Gibraltar. On this occasion a tourist on board failed to read the numerous signs and brought a plastic bag full of food, which was promptly snatched from her by the mother macaque. The monkeys craftiness was rewarded with some homemade cake found in the bag. Meanwhile this baby was left forgotten while the mother had high tea, seemingly oblivious to its panicked calls and even more hysterical screams from the tourist

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Kristian Bell, we are transported to the summit of Gibraltar, where a heartwarming yet nerve-wracking scene unfolds. A baby Barbary Macaque, with wide eyes filled with both curiosity and fear, watches intently as its mother charges towards a newly arrived cable car. The reason for her sudden rush becomes apparent - a tourist on board failed to heed the numerous signs warning against bringing food. As the oblivious visitor clutches onto a plastic bag filled with tempting treats, the crafty mother macaque seizes her opportunity and swiftly snatches it away. Her cleverness is rewarded when she discovers some homemade cake hidden within the bag's contents. Meanwhile, amidst all this commotion and chaos, the forgotten baby macaque is left behind. The image captures not only the natural instincts of these intelligent primates but also their complex social dynamics. While the mother indulges in an impromptu high tea feast, seemingly oblivious to her panicked offspring's calls for attention and even more hysterical screams from the startled tourist, our hearts go out to this abandoned little one. Through his lens, Bell manages to freeze this fleeting moment in time – reminding us of nature's delicate balance between survival and compassion while highlighting human ignorance in respecting wildlife boundaries. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst breathtaking landscapes like Gibraltar's summit; it is crucial for visitors to respect local guidelines and coexist harmoniously with our animal counterparts.
