Description

This guy was doing some traffic control, the cars had to drive around him. Is the word "control" or "obstructing"? LOL This pic was taken near Skukuza where this family keeps their homo sapien tourists entertained. Baboons are so much more entertaining than lions most of the times. Tourists should NEVER feed these fellas, because once spoilt, they can become very dangerous and can kill a human resisting his food being robbed. Once they've lost their natural fear of humans, the park authorities have to kill the whole troop! AND THAT IS SAD! I hope you enjoy these sociable animals like I do - by now it should be evident that I just love them: I have published 2 pics of baboons in this series, and there is still one more to come...

Something I can't understand, why to kill the whole troop if it's human fault? Just leave them on their natural ambience and it's everything alright! Thanks for sahering!!

Ha ha, baboons regulating the traffic! That IS fun! Better not feed the lad though, it would be sad to see another society spoilt. So many human societies are yet spoilt, let's save the baboon's societies! ;) Fantastic work, Piet! :)

Due to the complaint from andridg1575 about nudity, the next baboon pic will be censored: I will mask the baboon's eyes! LOL

Yeah, they can be very dangerous. They have similar problems with tourists feeding bears in Yellowstont Nat'l Park.

I have delved a bit in primatology and have always found baboons fascinating.LOL I like to brag that I know what those colorful padded butts of theirs are called...talk about useless trivia...just so you can brag,too...they're called ischeal callousities,lol.Not entirely sure about the spelling of ischeal,tho.Fascinating shot.People should also know that they're not yawning...that it's a threat...and they're showing their teeth.You are lucky to see such creatures.We only have squirrels and deer.Have a wonderful week,Piet.-M :^)
