[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the third post of my series of shots of the Hamadryas Baboons at Riverbanks Zoological Park. This fella appears to be in deep thought.

The Hamadryas Baboon is the northernmost of all the baboons; its range extends from the Red Sea in Egypt to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. It also lives on the Arabian peninsula, though it is uncertain if this population was introduced by humans or not. The Hamadryas Baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians as the attendant of Thoth, and so, is also called the Sacred Baboon.

Hi Rob,
Another great one of your serie. Nice animals as a photographic object. Colours work well. Again the background is nicely blurred with a good focus on the subject.
Keep on with this kind of work.
