Staring Baboon at Kruger National Park.
Baboons can really be an obnoxious animal and also quite dangerous. Definitely don’t want to have one too close to the vehicle as they may climb in an open window or just snap the antennae right off.

Nasty for sure. I hope your windows were rolled up….this fellow seems to have taken a like to you or someone in your vehicle… ;<)
Window was down but I watched very closely with hand on the crank just in case.
Well look at him just sitting there. Can’t believe you actually got to look into those eyes. What I wouldn’t give. Great picture. So glad I got to see it.
Just hope he wasn’t looking at me lovingly. 😉
Well now that IS an amazing picture…. He seems not to mind posing in all his glory ;>)!
Baboons are certainly not shy.
Gaelyn, perhaps you should hand out fig leaves prior to your photo shoots…maybe two in this case! =o)
Ha Ha. Baboons just don’t care if it all hangs out.
These are the only animals I dont like. Their canine teeth are longer than those of a cheetah.
I think he has feelings for you Joan.
He’s definitely giving you the eye!
Think so?
Amazing photo. The apes in Gibraltar are also obnoxious … as my mom found out first hand when one jumped on her to grab the bag of chips she had just opened.
Many people don’t realize how grabby they can be until it happens.
I don’t think all tourists visiting SA always realize how dangerous baboons are. You often see that at Cape Point when baboons approach people
Some idiots even feed them.
Interesting photo….I wonder what was on his mind, even a sneer on his face.
