is a reminder of the importance of coexistence with nature.
They sound ve exterminated . Look what they have done to Thailand. People have to put cages around the homes to keep these macaque monkey from breaking in the house. The overnight the streets attacking and stealing from people and tourist. The even learned to steal phones, purses, glasses from people to demand a trade of food to give back peoples belongings. They even kill human children
Sorry to hear about the passing of Eric Shaw. I've seen him in a number of Gibraltar videos it's a bit like losing an old friend. My condolences to his family, friends and anybody affected by his loss. I'm sure he would have loved this video. Thanks for posting.
This looks like such a interesting and cool job to have that she gets to travel around and study the animals and their behaviors
This series is so invigorating.
Monkeys🐒 are my favorite animal
cute animal monkey
Because the cab drivers keep seeds in their pockets, to keep the peace. When your driver says to remove food from your bags if you don't want to lose hat bag they mean it. They have teeth. You WILL lose that fight.
Rabies shots come with a good bite I'm sure. They are beautiful animals. Just let them do what they do and move on.
@ronarmitagejr8758 that's what we did. But we saw plenty of people who didn't listen. One guy didn't even have anything on him, but one of the monkeys still ran along a railing, which included jumping over my shoulders very lightly, and onto this guy's back, grabbing fistfuls of what little hair he had left on his head! It was quite a funny moment, and I got a picture of it.
BTW, when I saw them (a good 15 yrs ago), the restaurant midway up the rock had a stand with candy bars and cakes near the open door. Pretty sure the ones hanging around nearby were used to ducking in now and then for a snack 😄
As their natural habitats become smaller and more fragmented, they often come into conflict with other species for limited resources, leading to violent confrontations.
The drivers I've see have peanuts to get the monkeys to come to the van windows for their passengers. They will also facilitate and control the monkeys climbing on the tourists around the feeding zones. No open bags though! The macaques know where to look for food!!
In India you can't literally see this coexistence everywhere (especially in Northern part)
Monkeys, dogs, cats, cattles, birds, etc. If you get a little specific (area wise) you'll even find large mammals coexisting in harmony (or chaos -- depends how you view it) with humans
What? Coexisting? Look at India temples and neighborhoods overran by these macaque monkey. Most people look at them like nuisances. They eat farmers crops, break into homes ransacked it, they attack and steal from people just walking around or having a meal outside. They ven learned to steal phones, glasses, purses to get food demanding a trade for peoples items back to. They even kill human children.. coexisting is not monkey running around everywhere breaking , stealing and attacking people. In Thailand people have to put up cages around the homes to keep the macaque monkey from breaking in.
True
loving the presenter girl. cute asf
3:15 that monkey is literally dead asleep, not giving a damn 😭
The lady with the best smile.
she is very beautiful
@@wcrimeusa88 fall in love?
They've got it made. People bringing them stuff everyday 😎
epic background music at 5:45
I visited them last week, amazing animals❤
great video! thanks!
It is heartwarming to see how the last wild monkeys in Europe are coexisting with humans without any animals fight.
Hello?
A new week has started again.
I hope this week brings you health and joyful moments.
Thank you very much ^^
Pretty cool! Thanks!
Awesome~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
The coexistence of the last wild monkeys in Europe with humans is a testament to the fact that we can peacefully coexist with wild animals, without any animals fight.
Just came from there and my children were terrified as the ape pull Ice cream from
A woman’s hand!
I think it shouldn't be allowed to feed them seasoned food like snack foods.
thanks for the interesting video.
I'd no idea wild monkeys exist somewhere in Europe
I want to go there now 😁
To be honest, it's amazing & interesting to me that monkeys🐒🐒🐒 can be found in Europe. Tell me are the Barbary macaque monkeys here able to adapt the winter❄️ in Gibraltar🇬🇧 easily ? Thanks 🙂. Hello from Cologne Germany 🇩🇪.
Weather in southern Iberia is quite balmy year-round.
@@JanetStarChild Thanks 🙏 for the information.
i wish that i was the camera man in that episode
I like how she says 'Hopefully I'll see them'. The blighters are bloody everywhere on the rock.
Mi cacks everywhere 😅
Mi cacks laying in wait to jump on people 😂
It's too bad they didn't film, if even for just a few seconds, that sign at 2:45 instructing people how to act around the monkeys.
This is crazy. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Thanks boss🏹🌺🧚♀️🌠⚘💄💘
6:10 This is not "their home". Barbary macaques were introduced to Gibraltar. This species never lived there before. They have no native habitat because they aren't native. They were dropped right into an urban area and have managed but they are the ones visiting humans. It's not like that in most places, but that's how it is there. Yes there were primates, even other macaques in Europe in prehistoric times, but not these. This entire video is misleading. They aren't being "exposed" to humans there, their entire existence in Gibraltar has always required human assistance. Humans have been feeding them and providing them with water the entire time. They have and continue to be basically community pets, not native or wild animals.
good for them
Today my spanish teacher said that in europe there is no monkey just in gibraltar i told her that he came from morroco 😂😂 from atlas and that is true
The monkey's that live in the uk live far better lives than the one's in Gibraltar.
As it may sound innocuous, but feeding them by visitors is not good at all. As pointed out in this video, undesired consequences could happen. In Kyushu, Japan, there's a similar spot where 3 groups of macaques are kept half wild. My father was holding me up with a small snack bag in my hand. All that I remember was exposed teeth of macaques without a memory of the rest. My father had to fend off one aggressor desperately ... Huge or monstrous to me then. I was at 3, 4 years old. Rules are sacred things when it comes to contact with nature. Rule breakers may have fun momentarily, leaving potential cause of unnecessary conflicts. Hopefully, this serve for a cautionary tale. It's animals that tend to be the first one to be punished, not tourists.
😁😁😁 beatiful monkey
Whosoever is reading this peace and prosperity to you and your family!
Thank you! I've been actually having a tough time lately 🫤
@@bmozingo1 Things will get better. Hang in there Mr Milligan. I'm wishing you love and serenity.
@@dottiegillespie8067 Appreciate ya my friend! 🥰
Thank you! And also to you and yours!
And remember that Jesus is real..
these monkeys are as wild as stray cats
There are many macaques in and around Delhi, India.
Please take some if the Indian Government allows to help preserve the last few coexisting monkeys in this particular region.
P.s - We see them almost everyday.
Love and respect from 🇮🇳 India
Jai Hind!
What is your favourite monkey in India?
Lion tailed macaques
It is important to note that wild animals, including macaques, are protected under the Wildlife Protection Act of India, which prohibits the capture or killing of wild animals without permission from the government. Therefore, it is not advisable to take any macaques without permission from the relevant authorities.
What a crazy idea . Take them to your house and you will see what happens. Neither good for you nor for the monkeys
@@mariahelenatietjen5427 The idea is not as crazy as your comment.
Sydney Bin Chicken next
In India Coexistence is everywhere...
Schön 😎
Thought this is about me
“So even if they don’t find a lice. They’ll pretend they found a LOUCE” time stamp 8:52💀
People should walk up, no motor traffic.
If we are feeding them and taking them to the vet are they really wild?

I'm an animal lover
Count on humans to mess things up!

Gibraltar español
Isto é tão triste!! Nós não temos respeito por nós mesmos ...quanto mais com os animais, neste. caso estes macacos!! É só carros, intromissão e poluição!! Turismo isto, é mais uma invasão em propriedade que deveria ser privada ...aos macacos?!
RIP ao Senhor que faleceu!!
Os macacos não são nativos de Gibraltar. Eles não têm habitat selvagem lá porque não vêm de lá. Ninguém construiu estradas em suas terras, as pessoas trouxeram os macacos da África e os colocaram perto das estradas.
Lol it's a human zoo 😂 to the monkeys 😂
🙏🇳🇵nice
Like if the Borat voice from TikTok bring you here
Indian monkey's and utopian monkey's seems both are same😅🌹🌹👌👌
can you hunt them?
No
HABIBI. COME TO INDIA 😅
❤❤❤💐🤝🫶🇨🇭
Gibraltar español 🇪🇸 ⛰️
Don't be silly.
Poca probabilidad de eso. España se rompera mucho antes.
@@GrandMarshalGarithos presta atención a Irlanda del Norte, también la perderéis y eso si que os afecta más que Gibraltar.
Grow up Spain Gibraltar doesn't want nothing to do with you you have been told enough
@@WilliamEvans-sr5ex no es Gibraltar quien debe decidir su soberanía pues su soberanía es cuestión de toda España. Lo que los gibraltareños digan bajo el secuestro de Reino Unido no tiene validez .
GIBRALTAR ESPAÑOL! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
I mean they voted to remain a British territory so no it isn't...
Nope.
Worry about the Catalans and the Basque cabron, Gibraltar hasn't been a part of Spain in 300 years and isn't going back.
@@sidneyflinton6500
I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean I mean
Gibraltar belong to 🇬🇧 and 🇬🇮
There’s boat loads of new wild monkeys arriving in to Europe daily!
these guys steal stuff and don't give it back unless you give them sth to eat! or sometimes they just take your stuff and throw it over the cliff!
Spoilt rotten if you ask me.
A British territory? It is like a joke
It's very likely Spain will demand and take Gibraltar back when VOX is in charge. And to be fair, Gibraltar is in Spain.
Ah, reminds me of the good ole days when we used to soccer kick them off that cliff. 😂
I thought more of them immigrate in every day.
pretty girls
Well first of all we are not apes and secondly, evolution is a ridiculous theory with no basis in reality. Surely all human beings are intelligent enough to understand this..
Either a really bad troll or a super stupid individual
