This little guy is the hero of the story.
We traveled over the mountain, and we stopped at a lookout spot at the top of the mountain.
So now the long weekend is over, and I don't know about you, but I think that time flies lately. Just yesterday was Friday and now it is Tuesday.
In any case this is a baboon story that I have captured on my camera. I have much to tell you about them.
So come and have a look.
As usual, the big boss sat in the top of a tree watching us as we arrived and I left my wife in the locked car, as Baboons can open car doors.
Our little hero dashed off, as he saw his little mate had fallen off the low wall.
He arrived to help his mate back up.
Yay! The smaller one was back up.
Have a look at their hands, and he looked to see as I applauded him :)
And then there was peace in their little world.
Now for another part of the story.
I think the caller at the top of the mountain saw a whale and he signaled for the tribe to come and see.
This one at the bottom called the youngsters to go and see.
The one at the left sat watching the ocean and the one at the right was watching if the youngsters were coming.
As you can see from the lookout spot, the ocean flows around behind the right hand side of the mountain. Behind that rock that the caller was sitting on.
The youngsters rushed off towards the caller's position.
With the adults following behind them. And then all of the baboons were gone from our lookout spot.
Now, don't run away as there was something else.
This guy sat in his car waiting until all of the baboons were gone. It is not safe with the baboons around. I think that he wanted his Macaw parrot to have a look at the view.
And yes, it is indeed a lovely view of our town from the lookout spot high up on the mountain.
We don't come here often enough, but I can tell you that it is a wonderful place. On a clear day one can see for miles around, but of course, one has to watch out for the winds, as when the South-easter screams at high velocity over this mountain, nothing is safe. The wonder is that the baboons know about this wind, and they hide in the big boulders. I suppose that if we had to live up here, then we would do the same.
So no, baboons are not stupid, and they even have advanced communication systems in nature. No What's Apps or any other devices, but when that old baboon lets out a scream, it will chill your spine. They have long teeth that can kill another animal, or a human in an instant and yet they even have some human qualities, as you saw that little one helping the smaller one.
Baboons can also stone humans. Have a look at this.
Nature has always been there, and mankind has learned a lot from the wisdom and surprises in nature.
I am very careful of the big boss, and I think that he knows that I respect him.
It is up to all of us to keep nature in a pristine condition, as no nature, will result in no life.
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
And That's All Friends.
