FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at the Bronx Zoo, which is located in the Bronx, New York in October 2011. I was there on a very warm day for that time of the year I heard a lot of screeching and yelling and did not know what to make of it so I followed the noise and it brought me to a group of Baboons that were either walking around and chewing on grass or getting into fights with each other and letting out these screeching noises as they would hit each other. The one thing that amazed me was how close you could get to these very unusual looking but dangerous animals as the only thing separating the people at the zoo and the Baboons was a small stone fence and a mote that had been dug. The way I saw some of these Baboons runnijng and jumping it amazed me that they did not try and get out. This particular shot was taken after I stood there for nearly 20 minutes watching the activity of the Baboons in their den and this Baboon was in a heated fight that lasted 10 minutes, after the fight which he won he stood on a set of rocks and began to grunt almost signalling that he was the victor, he was probably the largest of the Baboons in the den. As he sat perched on the rocks and smiling I took out my zoom lens and captured his facial expressions.
