[edit] Summary

Description
العربية: أحد أنواع القرود.
English: A Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus) by the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in Gibraltar. Although the species is commonly referred to as the "Barbary Ape", it is in fact a monkey. The Barbary Macaque population in Gibraltar is the last in the whole of the European continent. A popular belief holds that as long as Barbary Macaques exist on Gibraltar, the territory will remain under British rule.
Español: Un macaco de Gibraltar (Macaca sylvanus) en Gibraltar. Es un mono del Viejo Mundo que se encuentra actualmente en algunas zonas reducidas de los Montes Atlas del norte de África y en el Peñón de Gibraltar, en el sur de la Península Ibérica. Es el único primate, aparte del hombre, que puede encontrarse actualmente en libertad en Europa, y el único miembro del género Macaca que vive fuera de Asia.
Français : Un Magot (Macaca sylvanus), dans la réserve sur le rocher de Gibraltar. Cette population est la seule en liberté en Europe. Selon une superstition locale, tant que ces singes vivront, le territoire restera britannique.
ქართული: ბერბერული მაკაკა (Macaca sylvana) პრიმატია, რომელიც გიბრალტარსა და ჩრდილოეთ აფრიკაში სახლობს. გიბრალტარის კლდე მთელს ევროპაში შემორჩენილი გარეული მაიმუნის ბოლო სახეობის სამშობლოა, სადაც პოპულარული რწმენით, სანამ ბერბერული მაკაკები არსებობენ გიბრალტარზე, ეს ტერიტორია ბრიტანეთის მმართველობის ქვეშ დარჩება.
