    Default Are there/were there any native European Primates in the last 10,000 years or so?

    Excluding Humans of course.

    Current distribution shows none that I can find with the exceptions of zoos, pets and the Rock of Gibraltar Barbary Macaques that may or may not be natives.

    Neanderthals died out 15,000 years ago or so. I can't think of anything else.
    The panther is like the leopard, except it hasn't been peppered.
    If you see a panther crouch, prepare to say "ouch!".
    Better yet, if called by a panther, don't anther.

    Isn't there a colony of monkeys on the Gibraltar?

    ETA: Yup, just checked that on the interwebs and they even have they own webpage: www.gibraltarmonkey.com

    We don't know if they were introduced in historic times, or are survivors from Pliocene, though.
