Meet the Barbary Macaque

Hi everyone,
Meet the Barbary Macaque, also known as the Magot.
The Barbary macaque has thick fur ranging from yellowish-brown to grey, perfect for enduring harsh mountain winters. What sets it apart the most is the absence of a visible tail.
They live mostly in North Africa's cedar and oak forests.
Sadly, it is now endangered because of habitat loss, climate change, and above all, poaching for the illegal pet trade.
Best regards.

En mi experiencia con la fauna, lo del rabo invisible del macaco de Berbería es un detalle que pocos conocen. Me llamó la atención que menciones el tráfico ilegal como mascota por encima del cambio climático, porque el otro día hablábamos con mi familia justo de cómo esas prácticas silenciosas hacen más daño que los titulares. ¿Los has visto en libertad en los bosques de cedro o solo en vídeos?
Absolutely! These silent threats often cause much more direct and immediate damage in the short term.
As for me, I was lucky enough to observe them in the wild in the cedar forests. Seeing them thrive in their natural habitat is an incredible experience, but it’s also heartbreaking to think about their vulnerability.
