Baboons are complex creatures with intricate social structures, but their social hierarchy can seem cruel at times. There is a distinct pecking order that is rigidly enforced, almost like a cast system and those born in the lower orders are doomed to a life of oppression and bullying.
This is one of the lucky ones: she is related to the alpha female of the clan and, as such, has enjoyed a privileged position from birth. She could command and dominate adults of a lower status and bully those contemporaries below her in the class order.

A delicate portrait, Trevor. The subtle colors you captured in this creature's fur is amazing!

Thanks Kelly. Nothing exotic, I'm a very basic Photoshop user, so I deliver what I see.
