The same person also downvoted our charity Lady Joan. I have replaced your downvote with a 100% upvote!
A great post here about nature!
Blessings!

Kind of you to do that, @papilloncharity. Just so that you know, that account is worth nothing so the downvote doesn't make any difference. It's just an awful thing to do, though. I don't understand it.

That guy has been around for a couple of months, thanks for support in downvote, I have mentioned him in communities, he is an irritant!

Thanks for visiting Stephen.

He holds the distinction of my first downvote Lady Joan, but such is life!

Wow, so much nature! Baboons and bird and snakes ! What an incredible post :D !!! And those baboons are really good at finding their way around, it seems :O

Snakes are so cool but they are scary in the wilderness, aaah.... You got some really awesome photos of them, Joan !!! :O

We share this planet with some amazing animals, thanks for enjoying.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Awesome to be so close to wild nature. It's too bad that there are those people who think it's OK to feed wild animals. It can be dangerous to both the animal and human when they lose their fear of humans. Wonderful photos and description, Joan! You're really brave with the snakes.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Don't believe I am brave anywhere near snakes, have had to learn which ones are approachable and which ones aren't Roger. When I was younger it would not take much for me to go straight up the walking stick and land twenty foot away becoming airborne in fear of snakes...

Beautiful photographs my friend...

Animals need their freedom without human interference, thanks for visiting.

Great photos, @joanstewart. Is the baboon in your first photo injured?

That mother and baby are so sweet. As for snakes - pretty or not, I prefer to give them a wide berth. That said, we do get harlequin snakes around here and they are really beautiful little things. I prefer it if the cats don't catch them.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Yes he was injured Fiona, obviously fighting for his male rights, he was an imposing figure around the area.

Snakes do so much good, I too give them wide berth irrespective of knowing they are not venomous, how my brother even considered stopping to photograph the Rinkhals was beyond me, I would have been out of there in a flash.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Awesome post! The baboon climbing the wall looks so sneaky and fun hahaha. The ones I'm not a fan of are the snakes but nature it is what it is, we can't choose what to keep or what to discard, or at least we shouldn't.

Thanks for sharing!

Baboon caused havoc with everyone being on their guard. Snakes play a big role in nature, best to leave well alone.

Appreciate your visit and comment.

Gr8 Post Joan.

One of my most favorite memories is of tracking wild monkeys in the jungle in Thailand. These are different animals but it reminded me of that, lovely pics :)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Thanks Raj, we have monkeys in our village (also naughty), the baboons are more fearsome due to size.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Seems like you had quite the trip mate. The Baboons are super dope. Was that drink the little bird is standing on alcohol? It must have been real funny to see a drunk bird lol. Great Pictures dude.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Guava juice around breakfast in the morning attracted the bird down to enjoy some, no drunk birds ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

Such neat animals! It's too bad that they are such a menace. In the mountains here in California we get bears that will get the taste of human food and become a problem. Breaking into houses, cars, and dumpsters to get it.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

People have allowed this all to happen, we develop onto the land without giving the animals much space.

Would love to see a bear in the wild one day Derek, I can well believe how scary it must be having your homes terrorized by bears.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

Totally agree. Humans have been quite stupid when it comes to dealing with wild animal populations. Usually just making the problems worse more than making them better. Here in California we only have black bears and not the aggressive grizzly bears, so for the most part they are not a problem. But when they get the taste of human food they can become a nuisance like bear #514 was for me for awhile. He wasn't mean... just wouldn't leave me alone!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Hahaha and the first thing we give children are Teddy Bears to cuddle up to, makes you think! #514 sure would have fun going through trash cans and disrupting life, because now he knows he can!

Definitely and even deadlier, but still snakes make me run!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Oh, I don't miss the wildlife of Australia... similar to what you have here... they are nice and harmless (if you treat them with respect)... but not something you want too close to home! Snakes are especially frightening for me....

Respect for everything, so long as it leaves me alone I will avoid.

Amazingly interesting report! Such close contact with nature! Baboons cleverly adapted to new conditions.
But with snakes, I would be scared to meet, especially if there is a risk that she will spit in you.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Going out we need to be cautious, snakes normally move away (except for our puff adder which is lazy, I have not seen one in years), learning about snakes is something one should know if going out hiking, just in case.

Boy, howdy! Now that was an exciting moment or three! This was that amazing experience, especially for 1 who has never been in the bush, or any place close to it. The only baboon I have ever seen has been at a zoo and I actually have no trouble believing in their skills because they really cause a ruckus behind the fence. Having said that oh, I don't like to see animals caged up, but I can honestly say that a baboon on the loose needs to be filmed. They are expert little Bandits with absolutely no thoughts on getting caught!

As always your are always so well thought out and written and the subjects that you use are always interesting and never have any problem keeping my attention. I always want more more more! Thank you for the awesome pictures and for taking your brother along and getting the picture of the Rinkhal! I believe you and give you a wide berth to most snakes, poisonous or not, and admire your brother for risking life and limb. Literally. That would be enough to Spook me out of the Tall Grass to see a head coming out! But he has a breve sister also LOL and I don't care if it's poisonous or not. Thank you so much for you are amazing writing and subjects!

Scared of walking into either of the above Denise, don't go out on long hikes like I used to. Hikes are not the problem now they come right up to the houses, keep ones wits never take anything for granted LOL.

Dear Joan,

that was so brave of you taking pics of the snake. For me, I do have 2 modes in seeing a snake: I AM GONNA MURDER THAT SNAKE NO MATTER WHAT and, HELP! THERE'S A SNAKE MODE! hahahaha

Yeah. This is coming from someone who started living in Australia where 7 of the most venomous snakes live. Did I mention that we do have crocs, gators, sharksm jellyfish and a whole bunch of creature out there waiting/ attempting to murder anyone? hahahahaha

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

2 Modes 4 sure Flight or Fright one you travel in time to a destination far, far away airborne. The second option stand dead still and pretend you are dead hoping it does not strike.

Yeah, out of Africa we got some critters that enjoy a nibble or two when confronted @nurseanne84

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Those baboons are quite sneaky, aren't they? I hope they don't get too much human food to ruin their baboonish figures. ;)

Snakes are not my favorite creatures. I know they serve a purpose in the world, but I prefer to stay far away! I will scream like a little girl if one came that close to me, haha! I just try to leave them alone and hope that they do the same for me. ;)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Baboons are scary when confronted, snakes normally go their own way without incident, must be honest in I prefer them not coming up so close.
