Baboon Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Another lovely monkey from the Limbe Wildlife center, 60km north of Douala, Cameroon. It's an adult baboon since he's getting silver hair on his head.

Male baboons are considerably bigger than females and have larger teeth. In the wild, they usually live up to 30 years and are found in woodlands and hills, especially in Cameroon. Males are quite courageous and aggressive and some species can weight up to 40kg.

I'm not sure I identified this very kind of baboon but it's possibly an Olive Baboon since it's the most common in Central Africa.

Hi Steven!
Hi Baboon!
How are you doing?
Steve? OK. Baboon? OK? Great. Nice fur, by the way. No, Steven, this was to the baboon.

:)

Hi Steven, This is a great portrait of this Baboon, your superb focus allows us to see excellent detail, the eyes are brilliant & those teeth look mean, this Baboon looks like my work mate, kind regards Wilson.
