It took me forever to load these (and Flickr wasn’t working), but now, finally, you can see some of my baboons!  (I tried to add more but the connection got too slow).

This is Anisanta, a juvenile male, doing a little two-handed stone-licking.

Next, we have Walidi and her daughter, Walita, also licking stones.  I’m not sure why Walidi looks drunk, but Walita was not impressed with my camera.

Ugly Umea.  If you haven’t stared at baboons a lot, in might not be readily apparent that Umea is ugly.  But if you look closely you’ll see that her eyes are just a titch too close together and that makes her whole face a bit wonky.

And Shirati.  Shirati is about as old and decrepit as you can get for a male baboon.  He’s skinny and his hair is falling out and his tail looks like a rat’s.  But he’s a champion napper.

I also tried to load a picture of baboons swimming, but, alas, it was not meant to be.  Hopefully there will be more pictures of bipedal primates to come!
