Owie ~ that looks like it hurts ... poor guy!
I know it hurts my eyes, lol!
I hate taking my toddler to the Zoo and seeing the baboons, she always asks why their butts look that way.
That is part of the reason why a lot of zoos do not have baboons and some of the other monkeys that have large swellings. It makes people uncomfortable.
I have worked with primates a good amount, and that is a really large swelling. It has to be some kind of record.
Can they be blamed when thy hav to sit on that all day?word. (I actually wondered if the pic was photoshopped a little.) and incidentally girls, when the females go into estrus like this, they are BEEEEyotchie!!!!
I think you mean 'poor girl'.
