BABY BABOON GOES BANANAS FOR ACROBATIC MONKEY

Most people bend over backwards to keep children entertained, but this baboon show us how it’s done. The energetic yellow baboon performs an impressive series of backflips – much to the delight of a baby monkey. Clutching his hands in excitement, the little baboon watches in awe as his idol flips through the air like a trained acrobat. The heart-warming photographs were shot by Australian wildlife photographer Marc Mol, 55, at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. Marc said: “It went on for over 15 minutes, and it was a joy to witness. I just sat and laughed.
