How's this for clever, a mother with baby has worked out how to just the electric fence.

1. Eyeing up the jump

2. We are off, note the extra tail sticking out the belly area

3. On to the fence with toe and hand straddling the wire. You can see the baby's ear. Now that's what you call a tight grip

Tip-toe over the electric fence with m-e-e-e-e!

That's great!:cool:


You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Brian,
I was amazed at the contempt that the locals felt for the Baboons. Until I was told that they are pretty much the Masi Mara's equivalent of a rat. They eat anything and everything, dead or alive, and as you can see from your pictures, they go almost everywhere they want.
