Long-term project studying the ecology, behaviour and conservation of the population of Barbary macaques from Gibraltar, led by Dr Sylvain Lemoine, Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge.
It is with great sadness that we learn about Jane Goodall passing away. Pioneering, inspiring, a true animal lover and feminist, her dedication to chimpanzee conservation paved the way for generations of primatologists. 😥🙏🦧

Winter is mating season in Barbary macaques, females can develop very large sexual swellings and get lots of attention from males, as here in Apes Den group #Gibraltar #barbarymacaques
