The Baboons



I'm trying to say - THIS MEANS YOU, ELDER HERBERT!!! PUT THAT SANDWICH AWAY!




Signs are posted all over saying things like this.






You have to look closely, but he is running down the hill. There were actually two or three of them, but I only managed one in each picture. They move very quickly. The park brochure said that they go to the beach and feed on the little crustaceans there--which is not a normal thing for them to do.




After running down the hill, he calmly crossed the road heading toward the ocean. The tour bus occupants came to a stop and waited and watched him.




This little guy was sitting beside the road far down the road from the others. Here we saw signs saying, "Baboons are dangerous animals. Do not feed them!" He was definitely waiting for a hand-out. You'll have to double-click and check out his facial expression. The ocean is probably 200 yards away behind the bushes.
