Vervet monkeys?

    They're hard to spot, but a) moving through the sequence you see 6 small grey things moving, b) all the way to the left you see a profile enter, and switching frames 2 and 3 it looks like a small vervet head, with a hand bringing food to the mouth.

    These are baboons. They will move through an area such as this foraging as they go.

    Thanks! So then the face on the left is a young baboon?

    Probably not that young, looks more of an adolescent but tricky to see for sure .

    Thanks! You guys are really peaking my interest in these animals and I keep googling stuff as I classify. Falling in love with zebras - they seem to be real personalities.
