RE: Hike # 6 : Climbing Ingleborough
Wow! A great post! Marian and I entered a ravine near the Cullinin diamond mine and it had a lovely little stream flowing through it. Very high cliffs either side and as we rounded a bend we saw a little pool with a cluster of big rocks at the end. So we approached through a narrow passage and up on the rocks pops a baboon with a baby. We stopped in our tracks as baboons are very dangerous and with babies they are worse. The next moment, high up on the cliff side a male baboon let's out such an angry scream that it still troubles me. It felt like forever as we slowly inched our way backwards. As you can see, I am still alive to post this! Blessings and upvoted! Thank you also for the support on our charity page!
Thanks and also for the insight into baboon behaviour. We don't have such animals here, and its probably just as well. I haven't seen any outside Africa on my infrequent visits.
