Field Notes

Description:

Common monkey of Southern Africa

Notes:

Having been warned about baboons(which we didn't see here) I kept an eye out. As my mom was taking a picture of one of these, another started to make a go at climbing up her leg. I stomped and spooked him off. This was our second almost too close encounter, the first being in Kenya when our guide left his window open and one climbed in and we had to rescue his lunch
