Guinea Baboons.

You sometimes encounter these animals when walking forest tracks. These were part of a much larger troop, the rest were hiding in the bush to the side. They are quite shy animals who generally avoid contact with people, barking like dogs when they are uneasy.



There is only one alpha male in any one troop, along with numerous females and playful youngsters.
Although shy, it wouldn't be advisable to back that male into a corner, I think you'd have your hands full!!
