Baboons love to read the newspaper.

Just as we arrived at the baboon enclosure at the Adelaide Zoo, the keeper was throwing newspaper in for them...evidently they like to eat it...?
I luckily had my camera ready with my big lens on and this happened in about 3 seconds at the most.
We have a newspaper here called the Australian.
This pic looks for all the world like this guy just sat in his armchair and proceeded to read the paper...three seconds later he ate it...
Wonderful shot and story.
