Young Baboons often get a ride from their mum.
I quite liked the mum not joining in the stare.
This one in Ruaha National Park, Tanzania.

That's great lighting on the baboon and infant love the baby baboons translucent ear.

A head turn from mom to match the one of the babe would have brought this over the top.

Love the look back from the young rider. Nice rimlighting. Agree that eye contact with the adult would have put this over the top.
