Description


Le macaque de Barbarie (Macaca sylvanus), également appelé magot ou macaque berbère, est un singe catarhinien de la famille des cercopithécidés. Il est le seul macaque vivant sur le continent africain, à l'état sauvage dans les forêts relictuelles du Maroc et de l'Algérie, ainsi que sur le rocher de Gibraltar, où il a été introduit il y a plusieurs siècles et représente avec l'humain (Homo sapiens) le seul primate d'Europe en liberté1. Les autres espèces du genre Macaca vivant principalement en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est, il est considéré comme l'une des formes ancestrales du rameau des macaques qui sont apparus en Afrique il y a 5,5 millions d'années. Néanmoins, sa morphologie et son écologie témoignent d'une réelle adaptation aux conditions de vie dans l'Atlas au Maghreb et donc, bien que l'espèce soit toujours restée sur le continent des origines, elle diffère grandement des premiers macaques apparus. The Barbary Macaque (Macaca sylvanus), also known as a magot or Berber macaque, is a catharhine monkey of the family Cercopithécidae. It is the only monkey living on the African continent, in the wild in the relict forests of Morocco and Algeria, as well as on the rock of Gibraltar, where it was introduced several centuries ago and represents with the human (Homo sapiens) the only primate in Europe in freedom1. The other species of the genus Macaca live mainly in South and Southeast Asia, and is considered to be one of the ancestral forms of the twig of macaques that appeared in Africa 5.5 million years ago. Nevertheless, its morphology and ecology testify to a real adaptation to the living conditions in the Atlas Mountains in the Maghreb and therefore, although the species has always remained on the continent of origin, it differs greatly from the first monkeys that appeared.

J'aime beaucoup cette photo, le macaque semble épier quelque chose, à moitié dissimulé derrière une palissade! Les expressions des singes sont tellement proches des nôtre que c'est troublant. Magnifique photo, Mo, merci pour le partage!
