The primates are baboons.

1653 is a black-mane lion.
1647 is more weaverbird nests.
1648-1650 - Sorry about that.
Kenya and Tanzania, Summer 2000.
Stills from digital video camera.
640x480 JPEG, mostly unretouched.
Missing numbers are due to chopping
out non-animal pictures (such as
scenery, plant life, etc.)
Released to the Public Domain,
but I would appriciate hearing about
commercial use of the photos.

Anubis baboon or olive baboon - Papio anubis
The olive baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae. The species is the most wide-ranging of all baboons, being found in 25 countries throughout Africa, extending from Mali eastward to Ethiopia and Tanzania. Papio anubis inhabits savannahs, steppes, and forests. The common name is derived from its coat color, which is a shade of green-grey at a distance.
