Olive Baboon gathering at Arusha National Park Baboons don't like wet vegetation, therefore they moved on to the paths of this park, where we met them. This is a group of a few dozen individuals, with one albino sticking out. Africa,Arusha,Arusha National Park,Olive baboon,Papio anubis,Tanzania Click/tap to enlarge

    Albino Olive Baboon at Arusha National Park Being an albino in the animal kingdom is far from a blessing. I recently saw a documentary that claim they lead a tougher lives than "normal" animals. They are tested more, and sometimes excluded. Africa,Arusha,Arusha National Park,Olive baboon,Papio anubis,Tanzania
