Wildlife Saturday critters

Walking back from the mountain hike this week, I heard baboons barking. In the forest, I saw a movement high up on a rock to my right.

These are the Chacma baboons and some of the most widespread primates in South Africa. They are highly intelligent. See here

Walking the last few hundred meters with the octogenarian hiker, her one Labrador stopped and sniffed at something in the hedge.

Don't tell Ambrose I took photos of other kitties!

    I love watching baboons. There were so many walking about and trying to get into tourist cars at Baboon Point, Nakuru National Park. I have fond memories there.

  7. As you know Jo, we have no monkeys in the UK. (unless you count the politicians). So it was good to see your local ones.
