Due to the drought, several baboons with black fur crouched on the large, not lush tree trunks.
The flat terrain of the savanna made it too easy for Bi Fang and Harley to be spotted by the baboons in the trees.
A lookout baboon puffed its cheek pouch and opened its thin, protruding mouth to emit a dry howl, warning its companions below.
Called by their mates, the baboons that were playfighting on the ground quickly dispersed, jumped a few steps, climbed to the treetops, and stood on branches to observe the newcomers. Soon, one after another, black coal-like figures rolled from the ground to higher ground.
In no time, the trees were densely covered with baboons.
The group of baboons appeared restless as they watched the sudden appearance of a man and a leopard on the savanna, scurrying around on the rough branches.
Several large trees seemed like they were covered with huge black balls of yarn, slowly writhing in the wind of the savanna.
