Baby Baby Baboons - May 2010

Lola our newest addition has settled into our group of baby babies very well - at first she would hardly ever have contact with people but now she loves being cuddled by the volunteers and interacting with them. It just shows what time can achieve. 

 

The babies enjoy their nightly bathtime - we bathe all the babies each evening by dunking them in buckets of soapy water. All the volunteers are soaking wet afterwards but its great fun and a good way to end the day. 




Gus, Clyde, Lola, Bonnie and Marlin are now being taken on walks with the Seniors. Both groups interact so well with each other - its great fun to see Lala and Sarafina dragging the babies around by their tales and the babies fighting back whilst laughing. 







Marlin is still very mischievous and every morning he escapes the clutches of the volunteers who had slept with them the night before. Marlin loves a good chase  and every morning at 6:30am, volunteers can be seen chasing Marlin around the farm...
