African Animal Babies
African Animal Babies There is nothing like a baby and that goes for animal babies too. Moms and Dads take care of the youngsters in the wild by feeding and teaching. I thought I would share some baby pictures with you. We were able to see a lion cub encircled by new growth of trees that reminded me of a playpen that gave some protection against predators. A baby Masai giraffe paraded across the dirt road in front of us. Not a care in the world. He or she was not very old since the umbilical cord was still attached and swinging. The fluffy pom poms on her head will soon become horns like moms. We wondered where mom was. Young zebras stayed close to the adults. They all needed to be ready to run in case of danger. When the whole herd runs the stripes make an optical illusion and the predators have a harder time singling one animal out for a kill.
