The population of the species has radically decreased over the past decade. [8] Silky sifaka: Propithecus candidus: 250 [9] CR [9] [9] Estimate is believed to be a maximum. [9] Tonkin snub-nosed monkey: Rhinopithecus avunculus: 250 [10] CR [10] [10] Barbara Brown's titi: Callicebus barbarabrownae: 260 [11] CR [11] [11] Minimum estimation. [11 ...
The Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), also known as Barbary ape, is a macaque species native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, along with a small introduced population in Gibraltar. [2] It is the type species of the genus Macaca. The species is of particular interest because males play an atypical role in rearing young.

Although most Barbary monkey populations in Africa are experiencing decline due to hunting and deforestation, the Gibraltar population is increasing. As of 2020 [update] , some 300 animals in five troops occupy the Upper Rock area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve , though they make occasional forays into the town.
The smallest Old World monkey is the talapoin, with a head and body 34–37 centimetres (13–15 in) in length, and weighing between 0.7 and 1.3 kilograms (1.5 and 2.9 lb). The largest is the male mandrill, around 70 centimetres (28 in) in length, and weighing up to 50 kilograms (110 lb) [ 6 ] Old World monkeys have a variety of facial features ...
[c] [8] Later, after the term "monkey" had been introduced into English, "ape" was specialized to refer to a tailless (therefore exceptionally human-like) primate. [9] Thus, the term "ape" obtained two different meanings, as shown in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica entry: it could be used as a synonym for "monkey" and it could denote the ...
The common name "potto" may be from Wolof pata (a tailless monkey). [3] The generic name Perodicticus is composed of Greek πηρός (pērós, ‘maimed’) and δεικτικός (deiktikós, "able to show/indicate", cf. δείκτης, deíktēs, ‘index finger’). It refers to the stubby index finger that seems mutilated. [4] [5]
In northern Siberut researchers in the Peleonan forest conducted population density surveys from July to December 2005. [6] Results form these surveys show a mean density of 16.2 groups/km 2. [6] One of the main factors associated with the population decline of this species is habitat disturbance from commercial logging operations. [10]
