On our safari Saturday, we came upon a large group of baboons. They were Emma's favorite part of the day. It was so fun to watch them interact with each other. The babies were riding on the backs of the mommies. The little ones were chasing each other all over and wrestling. One little one was picking bugs out of his mama. My absolute favorite part of entire day was the interaction between this mama and her baby. I am so happy that I was able to capture each part.
I first noticed this little tiny baby sitting alone with his mama behind. I could see through the lens that she noticed me. I actually got a little nervous because she looked at me and started walking closer.
The baby looked back at her for protection.
She walked up to him and looked so tenderly at him. Then she picked him up just like you would your baby.
She pulled him close to her for a little snuggle.
Then placed him on her lap for a minute and watched the others play.
Then he grabbed on and went for a ride.
He is just so precious. I seriously almost cried watching this precious interaction between mama and baby. The guide said that baboons love their babies very much. If a baby dies, they actually morn them for about a week before burying them. How Amazing God's Creation Is!
