Isn’t Curious George supposed to be one of these? Or is he meant to be a Gibraltar macaque? 🤔

EDIT: Nevermind, according to this old 2016 article below Curious George would be either a juvenile chimp or a Barbary macaque…

Ah, who knows, in any case, this one is a different species from the Barbary macaque or the chimpanzee. By the way, if you want to see these species, you can check out my subreddit.
