A baboon ran over to a man bringing out some takeaway food from the cafe at the park. He snatched the man's bag of food and ran up and sat beside a sign saying that baboons will steal your food and he sat and ate it there. It gave me a great photo opp but probably wasn't so enjoyable for the man who most likely had to go buy his lunch for a second time!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054594160137017510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-38314821176259088052016-05-03T18:55:16.990+10:002016-05-03T18:55:16.990+10:00So glad you joined us again at http://image-in-ing...So glad you joined us again at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/05/snorkeling-on-saint-thomas.html - I hope to see you each week!NCSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617227847364562989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-5867456337232181302016-05-03T11:04:07.414+10:002016-05-03T11:04:07.414+10:00I know you love penguins and I was about to say &#...I know you love penguins and I was about to say 'but it is a long, long way from Canada', then I remembered that the world is not flat and you can just go the other way.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-87088668444934911642016-05-03T11:01:29.141+10:002016-05-03T11:01:29.141+10:00I can highly recommend it.

OK, he was kind of cute and you were very fortunate to get a picture of him. I can't believe how aggressive he was in going after a bun!
