Monkey-boy

Hamadryas baboonOkay, so this baby boy was wandering around, doing naughty things, and generally irritating his mom and dad. Eventually dad grabbed hold of his tail and just hung on... the tail acting much like one of those harnesses some human parents strap onto their super-active kids' backs to keep them from darting into traffic or getting lost in crowded malls.

Apparently these Hamadryas baboons are among the most dangerous monkeys in the world.

What a little rascal! He doesn't look so dangerous. Strange...I posted a photo of an orangutan today and we are right near each other in the DP portal.

What a great photo. Think I might be a little scared yet he looks harmless. I'll take your word for it, tho.
