During our research trip to Ghana, Aaron (the guy standing by the brave mother and kids) and I managed to squeeze in a trip to a game park. We did the drive around safari thing and saw elephants, baboons, monkeys, warthogs, and an assortment of antelope type creatures. The next morning this fellow was walking through the hotel area eating leaves and whatnot. Then, obviously, he decided he was thirsty. It was quite a site. At one point I was probably within 10 feet of him.
This is just evidence of the random things you see in third world countries. This is the middle of an intersection in the capital city, Ouagadougou. A native can tell that this is supposed to be a taxi because of the characteristic pea green color which identifies them. I still think I've ridden in worse.
