Menard, N., Vallet, D.

Abstract

Annual time budgets of Barbary macaques did not differ noticeably between the two sites investigated. Monkeys spent around 5 h resting (more than 35% of the day) and only 1.3-1.5 h in social activities in a mean day length of 13 h. They fed for approximately 3 h (about 23% of the day).
