Looking through my Kenya shots (again) and thought I would share some cute baby shots.

Cute! Little buddy looks like he's missing his front legs there in #3.

S/he was fine, got up and ran off a few seconds after.

Actually, #3 is an adult. It's a species called a dik-dik. And if I had to guess, he's a Kirk's dik-dik. They are one of the smallest antelope species. Regardless, though, it is an awesome shot! Heck, all of your shots are something to be proud of!

:o I knew somebody would catch me out. Still cute however.

I have to say I am quite proud of my shots with the new 7d, cannot wait to get back to Africa and try again.

Great photos! Really like the zebra and monkeys. Surpised to see the photo of the dik dik, those guys are pretty hard to get close to. Headed to Namibia and SA for 3 weeks in May, can't wait! I'd be very interested in knowing what lenses/equipment you used.

I took the 7D which I had for a week before so bit of a learning curve, and the 450D as a backup. (Spoke with a poor French guy who's 500D would not read any memory cards so glad I had a backup although I didn't need it)

Lens was mainly 100-400mm but I hired a 17-55mm 2.8f for some landscape stuff.

Bet you are looking forward to May, am sure you will have an amazing time.

Thanks for the warning on the cute factor. I wish more folks would do that with spider photos... icky. But these are very cute. Nice shots.

Aww so cute. But where are the baby kitties? They're always the CUTEST!!

Next on the list but really need their own thread. Not sure you would call these cute but will post in the next few days.

I Love them all! But what animal is in #3, the nose looks painful because of how it appears to be inverted even though I'm sure that's how it's supposed to be The last one, of the baby elefante is my absolute favorite though!

No. 3 is a Dik-dik and the nose does look funny but is designed to get between the thorns on the bushes it feeds on.

Ah I Have heard of the dik-dik before, but somehow I forgot about it's funny snout

You weren't kidding! They are very cute!

I love baby pictures! I think the zebra and hippo are my favorites. Thanks for sharing with us!
