Barbary Apes

In Ifrane, the homes in town come right up to the forest. People do see apes in their yards in the mornings probably in the same way that folks in Oregon see deer. Apes do get on to the roofs of houses and do damage.

I went to see apes outside of Azrou, which is a town about 20 miles from Ifrane. I thought the landscape was pretty interesting (volcanic) as we drove there.


Walking amoungst the apes was NOT a comfortable feeling! This was so different from being in a house watching them or being at a zoo!

I didn't mess with these --or any-- photos on this blog, so you may have to enlarge them to see the apes more clearly.







I got many photos of this little guy climbing UP and then DOWN this tree..... The next four photos are of this same ape.










A beautiful tree in the ape habitat.
