今日小常识
Gibraltar, known as The Rock, is a popular tourist destination and famous for being home to a group of Barbary macaque monkeys. Males of the species help care for the young, including the offspring of others. Scientists think this might be due to the fact that females mate with all male members so paternity is uncertain.
直布罗陀,也被称为 The Rock “岩石”,这里除了是著名的旅游胜地之外,也是巴巴利猕猴的家乡。雄猴们会承担照顾幼猴的责任,包括非亲生的幼猴。科学家们认为这可能是因为雌猴会与所有的雄猴交配,所以无法判断幼猴的生父究竟是谁。
