3/19/2003: Threatening baboons
Happy Wednesday! This trio of Gelada baboons, sent along by Nic Name (no kiddin'! Hi Nic!), is kinda threatening for a Friday image and also I have a deep overflow of animal shots right now. The image first appeared in National Geographic where it has become a prize-winning shot for photographer Nick Nichols. It deserves it, cos it's a great one! I'm severely tempted to print a copy and take it to my next dental hygeine appointment. |

Ooooooh .... I thought it was going to be an animal cruelty pic, you know, someone standing over the baboons preparing to whack them with a big stick or something ...
I now see that it's the Baboons themselves who are doing the threatening. Cool pic. (I don't think they are members of your sperm donor's family, Syc. They are too high on the food chain, aren't they?)

Good thing the 23 chromosones from the egg were stronger ...

The way in which they issue threats is to curl up their lip. It is scary.
I can't do it, though I've tried. |

The babs remind me more of lipless zombies I've seen in certain horror flicks... It's right creepy... but then again I love horror flicks.
