entry description
Olive Baboon (Papio anubis) drinking water from the tap at Awash National Park. I saw this baboon upon arrival at the park. I set up my tripod quickly and used my 600mm lens so as not to go to close and scare the animal. I took one shot and as I was getting ready for a series of shots my guide and some park rangers started throwing stones at the baboon to drive it away.Camera: Nikon D3x, Gitzo tripod
