This baboon wasn’t monkeying around, it just wanted a ride.
Jericho the horse looked less than impressed by the unwanted passenger as he tried to enjoy a lazy afternoon in the sun at an animal sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.

Nevertheless, patient Jericho gave the cheeky primate a reasonable ride around the grounds of Monkeyland and Birds of Eden, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Monkeyland, which opened in April 1998, bills itself as the world’s first free roaming multi-specie primate sanctuary and aims to rehabilitate and free previously caged primates.
