If there’s one thing you can expect when the DP World Tour heads to South Africa, it’s that you’re going to see some crazy wildlife on the golf course. Foreigners playing in Australia go crazy when they see a few kangaroos out there, but these tournaments can feel like you’re on a safari with Justin Thomas and Max Homa.
But while usually these sightings involve deadly animals, we’re happy that Thursday’s first round of the South African featured something much cuter. Have a look at this adorable baby monkey that stole the show at Blair Atholl Golf & Equestrian Estate in Johannesburg:

Awww. Look at that little guy! (Or gal. I’m not a wildlife expert.) Maybe I have a soft spot for tiny monkeys with my daughters going through an “Aladdin” phase of late (shout-out Abu), but don’t you want to take that thing home with you?
Then again, it’s probably a lot more dangerous than it looks. Plus, you’d have to deal with mama monkey:
And she looks tough. OK, better just to watch. From afar. Way afar.
