An Old World monkey (illustration) of the Cercopithecidae family of primates. A monkey with a grayish-ochre color that gives it a dirty impression. Its tail is barely visible. It lives in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria, and in Gibraltar. Also known as maggot. It is slightly smaller than the Japanese macaque, with long, curly fur. Like the Japanese macaque, it is cold-resistant and lives in snowy areas. It lives in North Africa and Europe, and is the only macaque monkey not native to Asia, but during the Pleistocene it had a wider distribution range than these regions.
