We came across this inquisitive baby baboon whilst on a late afternoon cruise in the Chobe National Park, Botswana. Luckily, the sun at a low angle and directly in his eyes brings out the full colours and sharpness of his facial features.

Camera – Nikon D80. Lens Nikon 70-200 VR zoom.

    Great shot! Made me smile – couldn’t help thinking he/she was sitting on something sharp…

    Thanks for your comment. No, nothing sharp – just clinging on to a tree trunk!
