Fun story I forgot to write about--
About a week ago, I was walking up the hill back to our house when two big male baboons came bursting around the corner mid-fight. Their teeth were bared and their hair was all on end and they were running. Right in my path. Or rather, I was right in their path. I quickly tried to jump out of the way lest they run me right over, but one male was faster than I was. He grabbed my t-shirt and yanked me to the ground. He ran off as some of the workers shouted after him. Male baboons when fighting will grab females or lower ranked individuals to show their dominance. That individual was me. Fortunately, it was just an accident and all I was left with were a few scrapes and bruises (from the rocks on the ground, not the baboon) and an adrenaline rush. It was a tad scary, but makes for a fine story!
