Wasabi: Leaf in mouth, lens in sight
A juvenile Guinea baboon called Wasabi bites a leaf wile gazing at the camera.
The wrinkles on the juveniles' faces are unique. Therefore, the primatologists use the wrinkles to identifiy the young individuals, while older baboons usually have other visible characteristics that make them easier to distinguish.
This photo was taken in the wild, in Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal, during a visit to the Centre de Recherche de Primatologie Simenti, founded by the Cognitive Ethology Lab (Göttingen, Germany).
