Description

Baboon
Namibia
We encountered several groups of baboons. I was hoping for babies clinging to backs, but no luck.
This one was the “Watcher” as the others romped below.
I had to climb on top of the truck to get closer to eye-level here, to the chagrin of my protective husband who knows by now never to “tell” me what to do… :slight_smile: .

Cool image of this baboon guard. Nice sky, goes well with the colours of the baboon and the tree!
