Baby Baboon

After the news about RBG, we’ll need all the happy thoughts we can get!!!  To help you with that, I’m sharing this cute baby baboon photo which I took on our South Africa trip.  A troop baboons (maybe 10 of them) wandered by our safari vehicle.

Baby Baboon

Tonight’s photo is from our South Africa trip.  Hard to believe that was over two years ago now.  During one of the safaris, we came upon a troop of baboons including a few babies.  This guy sat down near our safari vehicle and let us take a bunch of photos.  By the way, I have no idea what is sticking out of his mouth.

Clarification:  In my Mid-Life Crisis video (posted last night) I mentioned it is getting close to my birthday.  What I meant is that my birthday is coming up within this year…..  Basically, using that as a lame excuse to justify my expensive camera gear purchase….  So, it isn’t my birthday anytime soon.  Sorry to confuse you….

Vervet

Everybody needs a little Vervet Monkey in their life.  I know I enjoyed my time around some of these wonderful creatures in South Africa.  I took a bunch of photos while they played around us and tried to get our food.

Vervet Monkey

We saw lots of these Vervet Monkeys on safari in Kruger National Park.  They travel in group from 10 to up to 70 monkeys at a time.  The juvenile members were so cute.  They would run, play, pick on each other… 

Here’s an interesting fact…. The males have blue testicles (blue balls..... see the photos below).  Apparently, the dominant male within the group has the vibrant color.  Why???  I don’t know.  That’s just what our guide said and as you can see below, they are definitely a robin egg blue color.  Note, I didn’t modify the photo.
