Some more evidence for “bark stripping” , though this juvenile is not “stripping”, he is picking at the bark.
Not a common behaviour in Gibraltar, but I have witnessed three separate troops do this- what they have in common is that it is always on a Eucalyptus tree (Eucalyptus globulus)

A male juvenile Barbary macaque enjoys some exploring and foraging. You can clearly see his vestigial tail here, one of the features that still classify them as “monkeys” #barbarymacaque #primates #research #phd #gibraltar
