Group of Guinea baboons in dim morning light
A group of Guinea baboons (Papio papio) is pictured here in their natural habitat in Senegal. The dim morning light creates an interesting contrast between their fur and their faces.
I was probably being a bit too loud, as three of them are looking in my direction. I was accompanying researchers from the Centre de Recherche de Primatologie Simenti, who study the baboons at very close range. This physical proximity provides multiple wonderful opportunities for photography, as exemplified by this picture.
