Mother's Day wildlife
Pictured: Zebra, with foal, in Namibia
Mum's the word - whatever species you are.
From tiny ground squirrels to huge elephants, these mothers from the animal kingdom are full of tender love for their young.
And their babies are clearly wild about them too.
Even the hardest of hearts would melt seeing the babies follow their mums around, copying their every move and snuggling up for a cuddle,
Photographers Ann and Steve Toon, aged 55 and 51, said they loved watching the creatures playing together in South Africa and Namibia.

FEATURE - SN_BABOON_EXPRESSION_04
OH WHAT A SURPRISE… A baboon pulls a perfect "O" expression towards the camera. The Chacma baboon's expressions were observed in the Chobe National Park, Botswana.
Wildlife photographer Nick Dale, 56, from South West London, said, “On an early morning safari drive, I noticed a group of Chacma Baboons, including a couple of younger ones, only yards away from the truck. It was a patience game waiting for the young one to turn towards me so once it did, it was just a burst of shots to get what I wanted. It was a sweet moment having it yawn towards me after having chewed a stick.”
“I love the expression the baboon pulls, like it is surprised or shocked that it is being photographed and having its moment in the limelight. Chacma Baboons are always such a delight to photograph as they’re so inquisitive and expressive.”

(FOTO: DUKAS/SOLENT NEWS) *** Local Caption *** 1. When were the photos taken? May 2024
2. Where were they taken? Chobe National Park, Botswana
3. How did you get the shots and were there any difficulties? If so, what were they? I was in a safari truck on a game drive early in the morning, and I noticed this young chacma baboon only a few yards away. The biggest difficulty was waiting for it to turn in my direction! I took a burst of shots, so I got the yawn pretty much from start to finish—even though it was turning its head at the time!
4. Do you know why the baboon pulled the face like that? It was yawning.
5. What was the baboon doing in the moments before/after the shots? It was chewing on a stick.
6. What is your favourite thing about the moment? I love the expression on the baboon's face. The first time I saw it, it made me smile.
7. Is there anything further you think we should know to help us caption the shots? When animals yawn, it's easy to think they're doing something else: roaring, snarling or expressing surpri

Pictured: Chacma Baboons inspect a photography hide in Mashatu Nature Reserve in Botswana.
Danielle Carstens said, “The baboons couldn’t help themselves from inspecting our eye-level hide. The height of the hide means all you need is patience and the animals come and approach you, particularly the baboons as they are naturally curious animals. Once the baboons realised there wasn’t a threat, they got bolder and started peeking in through the windows and doorways of the hide to see what was going on.”
“My favourite thing about these shots is the fact I got to sit, watch and photograph the baboons thought processes; getting over their initial fear then building up the courage to approach and gaing from there, it was a joy to witness. Following their close inspection, they just wandered away.”

(Just note that they are Chacma Baboons)
1. When were these photos taken?
August 2018
2. Where were these photos taken?
At Mashatu Nature Reserve in Botswana
3. How did you capture the shots, and were there any challenges in getting the shots?
I was seated in a photographic eye-level hide. All it requires is patience for the wildlife to approach you, and the ability to keep as quiet as possible. Baboons generally check you out, make sure you are not a threat and then go about their business, which makes them great photo subjects. These ones were particularly curious and started peeking through the openings in the side of the hide to see what's inside.
4. Were the monkeys just curious about the hide?
They can't help themselves, they're one of the most curious animals in Africa. I think they heard something going on inside the hide or they just saw an opening as they passed by and had to see what's inside.

FEATURE - Malaysier findet Affen-Selfies auf wiedergefundenem Smartphone
A Malaysian man found hilarious monkey selfies and videos on his phone when he found it outside two days after it went missing.
Zackrydz Rodzi, 20, thought a person had stolen his smartphone when he woke up on Saturday (12 Sep) and found just the casing under his bed.
However, it wasn’t until he tried calling the phone while in the forest area behind his home that he heard it ringing.
To his amazement, the phone was filled with pictures and videos taken by the primate - including footage of the monkey putting the phone deep into its mouth.
Zackrydz told UK content agency Cover Images (www.cover-images.com): “I was sleeping at 6am then around 2pm I wake up. Right after I awake, I realised that my phone was missing. Ive no clue where it goes. Then I asked my dad and my mom if they seen it but they have no idea as well. I keep on searching in my house downstairs upstairs but still nothing!!! then i found it under my bed. Like how it's under my bed?? Even if I hit it accidently it's like right on middle below of my bed. Then I swear i already relieved after i found it. But it's only the casing left. Theres no phone!!! Then I start to think maybe it's my brother borrow the phone cause that's the last thing and the last hope that I could get. He was outside that time and then i give him a call to ask if he is using my phone then he said no as well. Now it's getting suspicious. Theres no sign of robbery or something because everything is fine and my family have seen nothing. The only thing in my mind was maybe it's some kind of sorcery or something! Maybe there's someone wants a revenge. After that I tried to call my phone and its ringing but no one answered. For 2 days i tried to call. I tried to locate the phone as well but fail since the phone is in offline mode. On the second day of the phone missing, I was thinking to hire someone or maybe make a police report to find my phone. But before I did that, my father told me that there's a monkey playing

However, it wasn’t until he tried calling the phone while in the forest area behind his home that he heard it ringing.
To his amazement, the phone was filled with pictures and videos taken by the primate - including footage of the monkey putting the phone deep into its mouth.
Zackrydz told UK content agency Cover Images (www.cover-images.com): “I was sleeping at 6am then around 2pm I wake up. Right after I awake, I realised that my phone was missing. Ive no clue where it goes. Then I asked my dad and my mom if they seen it but they have no idea as well. I keep on searching in my house downstairs upstairs but still nothing!!! then i found it under my bed. Like how it's under my bed?? Even if I hit it accidently it's like right on middle below of my bed. Then I swear i already relieved after i found it. But it's only the casing left. Theres no phone!!! Then I start to think maybe it's my brother borrow the phone cause that's the last thing and the last hope that I could get. He was outside that time and then i give him a call to ask if he is using my phone then he said no as well. Now it's getting suspicious. Theres no sign of robbery or something because everything is fine and my family have seen nothing. The only thing in my mind was maybe it's some kind of sorcery or something! Maybe there's someone wants a revenge. After that I tried to call my phone and its ringing but no one answered. For 2 days i tried to call. I tried to locate the phone as well but fail since the phone is in offline mode. On the second day of the phone missing, I was thinking to hire someone or maybe make a police report to find my phone. But before I did that, my father told me that there's a monkey playing

In the Disney classic movie Simba the lion cub is held aloft by a baboon shaman as his birth announced. Sadly for this young cub itÕs feared the ending would not be a happy one because at just a few days old it could not survive without its mother.

FEATURE - Touristenattraktion und zugleich Plage: Die Paviane in Taif
Feb 16, 2018 -Taif, Saudi Arabia: The large number of baboon monkeys in various tourist spots of Taif Governorate is both a menace and a delight, depending on which side of the divide you are in. For the residents, they are a menace and for the tourists, they are an attraction. The baboons normally live in the mountains, but they come down into the village to look for food in the winter. Following complaints from residents, wildlife research centers in the governorate, in coordination with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, are working toward decreasing the number of monkeys in Al-Hada province. Al-Ribah monkeys that live in Al-Hada are similar to monkeys that live in East Africa and Yemen. A large number of domesticated monkeys live in Al-Taif next to roads, while other monkeys survive by attacking agricultural areas. Some had also spread in the outskirts of cities causing many problems to the municipality and residential areas in the vicinity. Taif is a city in the Mecca Province of southwest Saudi Arabia at an elevation of 1,879 m (6,165 ft) on the slopes of Sarawat Mountains. It has a population of 1,200,000 people and is the unofficial summer capital of the country. The city is the center of an agricultural area known for its grapes, pomegranate, figs, roses and honey.

Feb 16, 2018 -Taif, Saudi Arabia: The large number of baboon monkeys in various tourist spots of Taif Governorate is both a menace and a delight, depending on which side of the divide you are in. For the residents, they are a menace and for the tourists, they are an attraction. The baboons normally live in the mountains, but they come down into the village to look for food in the winter. Following complaints from residents, wildlife research centers in the governorate, in coordination with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, are working toward decreasing the number of monkeys in Al-Hada province. Al-Ribah monkeys that live in Al-Hada are similar to monkeys that live in East Africa and Yemen. A large number of domesticated monkeys live in Al-Taif next to roads, while other monkeys survive by attacking agricultural areas.
