Calling this species an ape is misleading, for though it lacks a tail, as do apes it is in fact a macaque belonging to the old world monkeys.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by the talented Jean-Paul Ferrero, we witness a heartwarming scene straight out of the wild. The Barbary Macaque family is caught in a moment of pure bliss as they engage in their favorite pastime - mutual grooming! These mischievous mammals are known for their social behavior and strong bonds, which are beautifully showcased here. As we zoom into the frame, it's impossible not to be enchanted by these furry creatures. With three macaques huddled together like old pals at a spa retreat, they meticulously clean each other's fur with utmost care. It's like witnessing an exclusive salon session where friendship meets impeccable hygiene! The photograph radiates warmth and affection as these primates demonstrate the true essence of teamwork. Their synchronized movements reveal an unspoken language that only true friends can understand. They say actions speak louder than words – well, in this case, gentle strokes and meticulous cleaning speak volumes about their deep bond. This image serves as a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, friendships thrive through co-operation and shared experiences. So next time you're feeling down or need some inspiration on how to strengthen your own relationships – take a leaf (or should we say hair?) from our Barbary Macaque friends' book!
