Taif baboons

the declining numbers of the Arabian leopard made there number become out of control, sometimes they do attack campers in national parks, and sometimes they even attack the city and raise havoc in streets, schools or local markets.

i really hope more will be done to save the Arabian leopard, and some day there number start to be as it was only 50 years ago.

That's a super picture you've taken of this baboon Doux, with some really lovely detail.

What's happening to your leopards lass? is it loss of habitat.... persecution.... or what? Such a shame when the balance of nature is upset in this way.

It is always about balance. Man wants to kill anything that he sees as a threat. I hope conservationist can prevail. Amazing close-up of this handsome looking trouble maker (lol). TFS Doux!

A sad narrative that I, too, hope will be changed. You sure have an excellent image of this baboon.
