This photo could have been taken a half-century ago. It's remarkable to see so many baboons clustered into one space.

I remember Hamadryas there some years ago.

@carlos55 They are the Hamadryases, I guess they look browner but they aren't Guinea baboons.

In fact they are hybrids, the sign says Papio sp.

@snowleopard Luckly the baboons can also access the pit, wich gives them more space.
