Summertime in Montana, I become a monosyllabic baboon. I want to ride with the cowboys, go to brandings, doctor cattle, and train my horses. But in a few months, the snow starts to fly. The days become shorter; the yellow color of interior light becomes delicious. I look at my shelves, and every book just glows, and I want to be inside of that.

Do I get grief for the fact that in communicating, say, about the baboons I'm doing so much anthropomorphizing? One hopes that the parts that are blatantly ridiculous will be perceived as such. I've nonetheless been stunned by some of my more humorless colleagues - to see that they were not capable of recognizing that.

It was on a trip to Africa with my family - I was eight - and an angry baboon jumped through the window of our parked car. As my siblings escaped, my foot got stuck in the seat. I froze and watched it steal the whole contents of our car around me.

I bought two sculptures of two baboons called Lord and Lady Muck on an antique piece of furniture from an art exhibition, and it was quite expensive. It was very expensive, actually - way too expensive.

I have family in Tanzania. I can't even explain the joy of riding through the Tanzania national park and seeing giraffes run across the road and elephants over in a pond and baboons running.

Baboons take a bit of getting to know but, apparently, once you break the ice, so to speak, they are complex and interesting creatures with elaborate societies.

Chief executives, who themselves own few shares of their companies, have no more feeling for the average stockholder than they do for baboons in Africa.

American Businessman

Baboons have the exact physiology as humans do. They also get the same stress-related illnesses, such as ulcers and heart disease.

Baboons are often compared to dogs due to their facial structure, not just any monkey.

Animal Comparison

Baboons live in groups, so mentioning them alone might be unnatural unless context explains it.

Baboons are not from just anywhere; they're typically African or Asian, a fact to use in geographic references.

 It's pretty grim, not the sort of thing you can show on any screen. The baboon slowly ate the baby alive as it bleated for its mother, and that's the image and memory I have. In the space of maybe 5 minutes I witness the full, gruesome circle of life.
