Well, we're all different.
When a stag is thinking about having children, it bellows a lot and fights the other stags.
When a man is thinking about having children, he worries a lot and gets a mortgage.
When a baboon is thinking about having children, it grows an enormous bright red bottom.
Makes the mortgage option seem quite palatable, really.
Word To Use Today: baboon. This word is from babewyn, meaning gargoyle, and from the Old French baboue, which means grimace. The word is also related to the Old French babine, a thick lip.
I think this is a bit unfair, myself. Baboons really do need their long faces because they eat lots and lots of grass.
