Don't mess with a baboon: Zimbabwe

     This guy is the size of a large dog; I would guess around 100 pounds. I was sitting with friends at a picnic table in Zimbabwe near Victoria Falls. One of the friends had purchased cookies as she was hungry. She didn't get to eat more than one. I turned my back on this guy and he jumped on me going like a freight train, reached around, and grabbed the bag of cookies and was off to eat them. He did not hurt me, other than my feelings, but "startled" took on new meaning. This photo was taken by me prior to our encounter.
