Description

No one is looking, lets try to escape. Typical youngster behaviour, made me chuckle. One of the most intelligent species of animals at the park, our baboons utilise complex vocal and visual displays to communicate the feelings and dominance. While here you might see them staring or raising their eyebrows at each other. Dominant males will yawn to show their teeth, displaying their dominance. Guinea baboons inhabit a very small area in western Africa, their habitat includes dry forests, gallery forests and bush savanna, seasonally locating themselves near permanent water sources. The Guinea baboon reserve at Yorkshire Wildlife Park is designed to mimic the Guinea baboons natural habitat in western Africa, a natural habitat which is getting smaller and smaller. Due to their small range, Guinea baboons are now classified as “near threatened” by the IUCN. Info YWP website. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. x

Certainly does look mighty determined to at least make it to the top of that fence--wonder how do they keep these guys within the confines of their area. Certainly wouldn't take much for them to dig under the fencing to make an escape if they wanted to. Fun capture--thanks for the share :)
