This baboon knows something I don't--I can see the arrogance in her eyes. It might be something as simple as knowing at whom she most recently threw her feces. But whatever it is, I must find out. Maybe a primate's eyes are something of an ink blot test. What you see in them is indicative of yourself. I think I'll stop looking.

Maybe it's just annoyed at having a big red butt...
ReplyDeleteIt does look rather wise. An ancient, tribal monkey sage. :)
ReplyDeletei like the nose, too. something could like live up there.
No, it looks like the Mona Lisa!
ReplyDeleteGood lord, kritter's right!
ReplyDeleteAnything is better than looking at that thing's butt. Of course, according to my primatology professor, those big red butts come in handy--and not only in attracting mates. Baboons walk through dense underbrush and forests in a single file line; it's a lot easier to keep track of the monkey ahead of you if it has a great big red butt to follow.

I might start wearing a faux baboon butt when I go backpacking so my buddies can follow me more easily. Thanks for the info, Veronique.
