Hey, Hey, Gibraltar Monkeys! #gibraltar #themonkeys

Gibraltar monkeys steal food and eat dirt
The Barbary macaques in Gibraltar have developed a unique behavior to cope with the junk food diet they receive from tourists. They steal food from unsuspecting visitors and consume dirt to alleviate stomach discomfort caused by the high-calorie, low-fiber human snacks they consume. This behavior, known as geophagy, is a natural response to the dietary changes brought on by human interaction. The monkeys have learned to eat dirt to help with digestion issues, and this practice is observed in various groups across the territory.
