This olive baboon was standing in a field of grass surveying his area in the Masai Mara of Kenya. They’re called olive baboons because at a distance their coat can appear a greenish gray. This particular species of baboon is common through much of the central African continent. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 310mm) ISO 400, f/8 at 1/500th of a second.

Did you tell him he had a little something on his chin or did you just let him walk around like that all day?
He has to learn proper table manners one way or another.
Real nice capture, Sean. Love the colors in this image – the soft focus on the beautiful green-hued environs that surround your baboon.
Thanks Sue. Always a money shot when the primates stand up.
