During a morning game drive on photo safari in Tarangire National Park, we watched a troop of baboons eating and grooming. Baboons can be interesting animals to watch because of their group interactions. This young one grabbed this insect off the ground and scrambled up this tree so he could eat it without being disturbed. He seems to be winking at me right as I snapped the shutter.

so cute till they grow up and attack you on safari …
Now now , Deanne! They can entertain themselves just fine. They don’t attack you as long as you don’t get out of the vehicle and try to pet them.
Nice photo!
Thanks, Hal!
My pleasure. Just FYI, I’ve launched my own site: http://www.HalFickett.com for my social media work. Hope you check it out!
Sounds good, Hal. I’ll take a look.
They jumped in our vehicles! We rolled windows whenever they were near!
Deanne – I’ve seen this in heavily populated or touristy areas but never in a safari park proper. Where were you?
Cute little bloke !
