Macaca Sylvana is a scientific name given to Barbary macaque, an Old World monkey that inhabits the forests, cliffs, and mountainous regions of North Africa. This monkey is also called Magot, the brown macaque, or the Barbary ape. The word Macaca Sylvana is a binomial nomenclature, consisting of two Latin words that identify the species uniquely. In common usage, Magot is the most frequently used synonym for Barbary macaque, though it is sometimes used to refer to other macaque species.
