I agree that this one is great.

Those Gibraltar Barbary macaques are rivaled only by Balinese
crab-eating macaques and the Chacma baboons around the Cape of Good
Hope for insouciant indifference and casual agression to the presence
of humans.  In most other places non-human primates are at least a
little wary of humans, but particularly in the places I mention above
Nathan is absolutely right - be wary.  I have seen the baboons around
the Cape get into a hire car and tear it to shreds, including removing
the front seats purely by force.
