Monkey Mountain

With my family I visited monkey Mountain, a place where they look after 200 Barbary Macaques monkeys.

The monkeys live in a special open air park not like a zoo.  There are no cages and the monkeys are free to walk around and swing through the trees.  The park has a big fence around it to keep the monkeys from escaping.

There were adult and baby monkeys at the park.  We got to feed them some popcorn.  Then we watched the keepers feed them some fruit and vegetables.

The monkeys are originally from the mountains of Morrocco and are here to breed and make sure there are enough monkeys left in the wild.
