The photo above is a female baboon holding her infant. We were at a clearing in Lake Nakuru having lunch when we spotted her sitting at the edge of a wooded area holding her baby. The photo below is a female leopard in Samburu. When we first came upon her, she was relaxing on a dead, fallen tree. We followed her as she crossed a road in front of us and stopped at this dead tree on a small hill. Later, we discovered that she had two cubs hiding in the tall grass where we first saw her. Apparently, she was leading us away from them.
