Baboons are one of the most common animals to be seen among the mountains surrounding Cape Town. Kerry-Anne and I stopped on Du Toitskloof mountain pass to take a photo of this mom carrying her baby. Click on the photo for a clearer view.

To get a closer shot would have entailed climbing out of the car, but with the rest of the troop in close proximity... I thought it not a good idea. However cute and human-like they may often seem it's wise to remain mindful that these beasts truly are beasts (and ones with huge fangs at that!).
