Hippos and baboons always in Africa & sometimes further afield get a bad rep profile. I have studied wild hippo behaviour for over 3 decades. Max here is wild as are the baboons. When he gapes like this on arrival at the back door it is,a greeting nothing more. NOT aggression. When baboons grimace showing teeth and gums its a kind of subservience. Like saying sorry. Taken many years of living with wildlife to be able to fully understand them. The same as living with people.

Exciting steps in Marli’s rehabilitation journey! Watch her meet her potential new family troop🤞🏼
Since Marli’s arrival, her human caregiver has been slowly introducing her to different troops of baboons. It is essential for our orphaned babies to still have interactions with baboons when they are not yet ready to be adopted into their new family troop, to encourage natural communication and behaviours. Although our human caregivers speak baboon to her in the nursery - there’s nothing better than the real thing!
Marli has taken a particular liking to the baboons in Simon‘s troop, and they love her even more! The troop are constantly lip smacking and grunting at her as soon as they see her - which are positive friendly behaviours between baboons. As you can see in the video, Marli gives them some excited lipsmacks back (some of her lipsmacks are a little nervous, but this is normal for a baby meeting baboons for the first time). Experienced foster mum Lulu is one of the females who loves Marli the most, which is a really positive sign!
We are really proud of Marli’s progress and of Simon’s troop for loving her so much. We are excited to update you all on her future progress!
🌍IMPORTANT NOTE: **Baboons are not pets & should not be forced to live with humans**

🐵The baboon orphans at C.A.R.E. Rehabilitation Centre, Limpopo, South Africa are victims of wildlife crime, hunting, trapping and the illegal pet trade. Their mothers were tragically killed by hunters, farmers, poachers and require intensive, 24hour care.
🌿
🐾Thanks to the dedicated, educated & professional caregivers and staff, the orphans are being rehabilitated so that they will be able to thrive with others in a natural and safe environment.
Please support C.A.R.E.’s efforts to rescue, rehabilitate & release baboons in need, keeping wild baboons wild!

Chrissy got a banana… and gave Stacy a big thankful hug 🥹🍌❤️
Chrissy was purchased by a movie company and eventually retired to Animal Tracks, where she has spent many years being cared for by our Director and animal behavior expert, Stacy.
She should have been wild. She should have grown up with her own family. Instead, she is living in captivity — a reality that can never replace the life a baboon is meant to have.
But from the very beginning, Stacy noticed something extraordinary about Chrissy: she had a strong instinct for mothering. Over the years, Chrissy has become an adoptive mother to many of the other monkeys at Animal Tracks. We call her our Queen, our Mother Nature. 👑🌿
And that incredible moment you see in this video? It isn’t simply a cute animal giving someone a hug.
It is the result of 30 years of trust, familiarity, communication and relationship between Chrissy and Stacy.
Chrissy is truly majestic — and you can meet her during our VIP Tour, where you can learn more about baboons, their incredible intelligence, social lives and natural behaviors.
And please remember: baboons are not pets and never will be. ❤️
What you see here is not proof that a baboon belongs in a home. It is a glimpse into what can happen when a wild animal who has been forced into captivity is given decades of compassionate, knowledgeable care.
Baboons should be wild. 🌍🐒

After heavy rainfall, a lone, vulnerable baboon sitting in the middle of a road to drink from a puddle is an easy target for a stealthy leopard. Because baboons are isolated on slick or unfamiliar terrain, the leopard is able to easily ambush its distracted prey before making a quick getaway.
Puddles formed on the road after heavy rain often attract wildlife. If a baboon gets separated from its troop or slips and falls onto the tarmac, it loses the safety in numbers advantage.

Pterinochilus murinus is commonly known as the Orange Baboon Tarantula (OBT) or Usambara Orange Baboon Tarantula. Despite its nickname, it is not actually from baboons—the name comes from its country of origin and historical naming conventions.
Quick Facts
* Scientific name: Pterinochilus murinus
* Common names: Orange Baboon Tarantula (OBT), Usambara Orange Baboon Tarantula
* Origin: East Africa, including Tanzania and Kenya
* Type: Old World tarantula
* Lifestyle: Terrestrial to semi-fossorial with heavy webbing
* Adult leg span: Approximately 12–15 cm (5–6 inches)
* Lifespan:
* Females: 12–15+ years
* Males: 3–5 years
Appearance
The OBT is famous for its vivid coloration. Depending on locality, it can range from:
* Bright orange (the most popular form)
* Red-orange
* Brown
* Dark tan
Temperament
This species has a reputation for being:
* Very fast
* Highly defensive
* Extremely reactive
* Rarely tolerant of handling
Instead of relying on urticating hairs like New World tarantulas, it typically responds to threats with a defensive posture or rapid bites if cornered.
Venom
Its venom is considered medically significant. Although bites are rarely life-threatening to healthy adults, they can cause:
* Intense pain
* Muscle cramps
* Swelling
* Nausea
* Symptoms lasting from hours to several days
Care
* Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)
* Humidity: Moderate (around 50–65%)
* Substrate: Deep, dry substrate suitable for burrowing
* Enclosure: Excellent ventilation is essential
* Feeding: Crickets, roaches, locusts, and other appropriately sized insects
Interesting Fact
OBTs are among the heaviest webbers in the tarantula hobby. Many individuals transform their entire enclosure into a dense network of silk tunnels, often making the enclosure look almost completely wrapped in webbing.
🎬 Monkey on the Phone Meme
2003 · Viral Internet Meme · ~0:10 / Ongoing
📜 Storyline/Biography
Originally sourced from a 2003 Getty Images stock video series depicting baboons working in a corporate office, this iconic clip features a monkey intently holding a telephone landline receiver. Holding the phone with intense, serious focus, the footage became an instant internet staple for representing high-stakes communication, stern phone calls, and intense multi-tasking. Content creators frequently overlay angry, passionate, or dramatic voiceovers—such as angry partner voicemails—to contrast the absurd animal visual with dramatic human dialogue. The true magic of the moment lies in the primate's surprisingly human posture and serious facial expression, making it the ultimate template for frantic and tense phone calls.

🐵 En 2016, lors d’un tournage au parc national de Gombe, Jane Goodall observait une autre espèce fascinante : les babouins.
Saviez-vous que le programme de recherche du Jane Goodall Institute consacré aux babouins à Gombe existe depuis plus de 50 ans ?
Cette recherche de longue durée permet de mieux comprendre les liens entre les espèces, leur environnement et l’équilibre fragile de cet écosystème unique.
L’organisation sociale des babouins est bien différente de celle des chimpanzés : les femelles restent généralement dans leur groupe familial toute leur vie, tandis que les mâles quittent leur groupe natal, notamment pour éviter la consanguinité. Chez les chimpanzés, c’est généralement l’inverse.
💚 Observer, comprendre et protéger : c’est aussi grâce à la recherche scientifique que nous pouvons mieux préserver les écosystèmes et les espèces qui les habitent.
