One of the pictures I wish I'd had but the visual was so common I forgot to take it: the "Don't Feed the Baboons" street signs. This troop was hanging out near the toll gate on the Western Cape. It was cool to see them, especially when they yawn and you get to see those huge canines. But their big red butts are really gross! Apparently, some people regard them as racoon-like pests, though they are more dangerous (duh). Not only can they mess up your garbage but they will kill cats and dogs who are in the way. I'd get all excited about seeing them, and everyone would look at me in much the same way we would look at someone in New York who was excited about seeing a squirrel. "Yeah, okay." Baboon-- squirrel? Still blows my mind.
