  • South Luangwa Baboons

    Baboons are huge. Almost as big as bush buck.

    They carry their babies around on their tummies.

    And give them hugs.

    And groom them even when they don’t want to sit still.

    Sometimes they give them piggy back rides.

    Sometimes this ends with Mom sitting on the baby.

    Other times baby falls off and has to catch up.

    Baby baboons are cute.


  • South Luangwa Hippos

    There were a ton of hippos in South Luangwa park.

    This really must be more than one harem.

    There are even more that you can’t see because they are underwater.

    There were more outside of the water. This one was just standing there getting groomed by the birds.

    Which was weird, because there was not much to eat in the bare mud.
