Judy and Baby Ape

The best known story is that there is an old saying stipulating that Gibraltar will cease to be British on the day that there are no apes left on the Rock. Sir Winston Churchill hearing this during his visit to the Rock during WWII ordered the numbers to be replenished, on learning they had diminished alarmingly.

The Barbary Apes, Macaca Sylvanus, are actually tail-less monkeys and they are the only free-roaming monkeys in Europe.
