Family portrait

These were members of a wild Chacma baboon troop in Soutpansberg Mountains, Limpopo Province, South Africa. I studied this troop’s behaviour for six months and witnessed how gentle adult males can be towards their offspring.

Family portrait belongs to the following groups:

African Art and Writings, Animal Kingdom, Exotic Mammals, Happy Haven, Mother Nature's Finest, Natural Developments, Primates, South Africa - Rainbow Nation, Wild Nature Photography & Writing and Zoophoria

    Oh wow lovely shot. They have such long faces! Remind me of the statues on Easter Island. How come you were studying them?

    I was working in the Soutpansberg Mt., South Africa on the troop. The research was with reference to group dynamics and social interactions within primate. Along with others I habituated the troops and collected observational data. It was a truly amazing experience to be up close and personal with these animals.
