Scary Powerful Baboons.
I love Monkeys and Gorillas but I have second thoughts approaching a Baboon up close they are powerful and fascinating known for their intelligence and strength I would rater keep my distance and observe them from a 400mm lens. The male Baboon can weigh up to 45 kilos and the scares part of these Baboons are there sharp canine teeth they can deliver a very dangerous bite were as even predators like Lions, Hyenas and Leopards stay away from that jaw line.
Despite the looks and the fear these Baboons in the African culture are seen as symbol of strength, cunning and survival they remind us of raw power of nature. These creatures are not only strong physically but also sharp minded and socially complexed but remain one of Africa's most powerful and awe inspiring animal.
