One more mother and baby photo for Mother’s Day week. This mother baboon and her baby were looking for a little shelter from all the rain in Laikipia, Kenya. I liked the way the baby was sucking its thumb as it rode upon the mother’s back.

Elephant Mother and Calf
If you already received this post, I apologize. Again, issues with switching service providers. If not, here it is again.
Next up for Mother’s Day week is this fine looking African elephant and her young calf. We spotted them just down the road from the rhinos that I posted yesterday. Both the rhinos and the elephants make their home in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. On another note, I’m hoping that all my server issues have been resolved and everyone gets this post. Sorry for the problems yesterday.

Rhinoceros Mother and Baby
Continuing with the theme for Mother’s Day week, here is a rhino with her calf. Baby rhinos can weigh up to 150 pounds when born. Unlike many other mammals that will trail their parents, baby rhinos will often run out in front of their mothers for protection… and there aren’t many animals that want to mess with a full grown and angry rhinoceros.

Tarsier Tuck
Tarsiers babies aren’t all that much smaller than their parents when they are born. The mother will often carry the baby in her mouth, or tucked under her arm — as is the case in this photo. The mom will find a safe place, leave her baby there, and then go hunting for grasshoppers and other insects.
