On my down off the mountain I came across this fella. I laid down near him & watched him - he was so comfortable with me being there he just cleaned himself & was content.....but never taking his eye off me
The Gibraltar Barbary macaques are considered by many to be the top tourist attraction in Gibraltar. The most popular troop is that of Queen's Gate at the Apes' Den, where people can get especially close to the monkeys. They will often approach and sometimes climb onto people, as they are used to human interaction. Nevertheless, they are still wild animals and will bite if frightened or annoyed.
The macaques' contact with large numbers of tourists was causing the integrity of their social groups to break down, as they began to become dependent on humans. This induced the monkeys to forage in the town, resulting in damage to buildings, clothing, and vehicles. Close contact with humans has also led to the macaques learning how to open pockets and unzip handbags and rucksacks in order to steal food from humans. For these reasons, deliberately feeding the macaques in Gibraltar is now an offence punishable by law. Not that anybody seemed to care the day I was they, visitors came well supplied with treats for the hungry macaques.

Papaye était un chat facétieux que nous aimions beaucoup. Champion pour se percher comme ici sur la galerie au-dessus des rangements de cuisine, pour grimper sur le toit en quelques secondes, un bond puis le buisson qui le bordait, et à lui la chasse aux moineaux.
Mais un jour, dans la force de l'âge, il a disparu...
