Roosting time for a troop of Baboons is always a family affair…
Baboons spend most of their days foraging for food leaving their regular roosting place in the morning and returning at dusk. The period before bed time is usually a time for games, grooming and ‘adult’ activities.
Grooming not only serves as a way to remove parasites but it also secures the bond between family members. Apart from the fun and games, family disputes are also resolved with members chasing each other around and settling some unfinished matters before going to bed. Suppose the saying never go to bed angry, counts for Baboons as well.

Just below the Elephant baby that is hunted by two men we find this drawing of an antelope.Judging from the straight horns it is possibly a Gemsbuck.These antelope do not occur in this area anymore.
Above that is a human figure which I’m not sure if it has any relation to the Gemsbuck below.

With summer temperatures still soaring, these two elephant bulls needed no persuasion for a swim at Hlamba Mlonga today. During the heat of the day, elephant will often seek out these water sources to cool down their bulky bodies.
Young Elephant bulls often take this opportunity to see who is the stronger of the two by engaging in a bit of play fighting. Dominance in bulls is mostly determined by the size and strength of the opponent. Amongst Elephant cows it is usually the elder and more experienced that takes leadership of the herd.
Oblivious of the hippo approaching, the two bulls got a bit of a fright when he emerged right next to them…Needless to say they didn’t go back in the water again.
Kim will be taking a well deserved rest over the next few days.
