Field Notes

Description:

The olive baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). The species is the most widely ranging of all baboons.

I watched this family cross the road to this old dried up water hole and commence grooming. So human-like.

Habitat:

An almost dried up water hole in the vast grassland of QENP. Last photo shows the habitat.
