Baby Baboons Are Kinda Cute!

When passing through a Roadhouse in southern Namibia, we met the family owners - and this cute baby Chacma baboon they were hand raising for eventual release back into his troop that live nearby. They were raising him because his mother was sadly killed by a passing car on the roads nearby...
But he would've been released by now - and no, he's not in an area to pose any risk to people. The troop live in the remote Fish River Canyon, and these baboons are wild and free, and don't conflict with people.
