This is a picture of one of the Barbary Apes in Gibraltar. He is a young male that I took several pictures of. He never moved once, except his eyes which followed me as I walked in the area taking pictures of some of the other apes. Maybe it's not a bad life - sun yourself on the rock, eat some fruit, check out the tourists, have a nap, steal an ice cream bar...While we were waiting for some of the others on our tour, a lady went into a little pub to get an ice cream bar. The shop lady took it out, set it on the counter, took her money, and one of the apes jumped on the counter, grabbed the ice cream and ran off. Not her first ice cream bar! The taxi driver told us the apes get all the ice cream they want - they know just when to make the move on the unsuspecting tourists.
