Geladas, Ethiopia
Photograph by Jeff Kerby, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Pictures
A group of juvenile male gelada baboons gives chase to a male in charge of a family. These highly social primates are often squabbling over females, occasionally with deadly consequences. I was standing nearby monitoring another member of the population when the charge erupted. I managed a quick shot before the scene passed me (closely) by. Photo was taken in the Ethiopian Highlands, the only place where wild geladas can still be found.

Jeff, you were Johnny-On-The-Spot with this shot. Great reaction time. This is a conversation piece.
Great shot Jeff Kerby.
I never knew that their mouths opened so wide.
It is reminiscent of a shark in that its mouth opens and the jaws extends outwards.
what a poor old male he must run in front of all of these teeth and warning raised tails.
