Reason I thought baboon is because it has a slight muzzled shaped face. Isn't it strange that one of the qualifications of us as human is our ability to make tools thanks to having an opposable thumb. Chimps and other species have thumbs and make tools, but they are not considered sentient. I think our own prejudice is showing.

Well, I am an active vegan activist and I believe that animals have thoughts, feelings and capabilities that we as humans just do not give them credit for. I think that animals have profound ability and I am not sure how we ended up on the top of the totem pole, we're definitely not the most compassion creatures out there (in my opinion)! I hope by showing the human likeness in these creatures, to deepen our bond to them and think of them as hearts, brains and living beings too <3
