Species: Baboon | Location: Serengeti, Tanzania, United Republic Of
This Mama Baboon is carrying her baby hanging onto her belly. Our guide told us that for about the first three months of a baby baboon’s life, they are carried in this way. From about 3 months to 6 months they ride on Mama’s back. After about 6 months, they are on their own.
