Baby baboons and more. The North Carolina Zoo has a number of juvenile baboons, including three born in the spring of 2014. By scrolling down beneath each photo, you should be able to see my little stories.

Tinka is the eldest of the three baboons born this year at the North Carolina Zoo. Here she is nursing in the arms of her mother. Tankara is quite a young mom, but she's been doing a great job.
Tankara sits in the grass. I have no idea why these animals look right at me as I am taking their pics, but I am so glad they do! The main reason I am posting this here is for identification. I am trying very hard to learn to distinguish among the many females in the troop. Guess what, Tankara looks like this! I would say she has a little bit of a mustache that is not so evident on some of the other females.
