Saying hello to baboons

Mutterings continued.

Elizabeth, my replacement at work, and I got to meet the baboon troop up close this morning. Their keeper was cleaning the enclosure as we walked past and invited us into the nightquarters to meet the gang. I got to feed a couple of peanuts to Guni, Taye and the bub's mum, before James and Taye scared her off.

And then this afternoon we did some desensitisation work with a Black-footed Rock Wallaby and her joey. Rockette is very cute, indeed. And the little head sticking out of her pouch even cuter.
