Oh, Baboons, Where art thou?

Hello! Things have been moving along here. Interviews start tomorrow (!!!). We've been out with the village ranging group several times and have started trying to ID adult females and males!

So one day I brought my awesome Flip cam out with us to get what was sure to be some exhilarating footage. Of course, the baboons where nowhere do be found. There are days like this and you hope they are few and far between but they do exist. 

Not wanting to waste a golden opportunity (or deny the request from my Flip cam benefactors for a video update!), we took some video anyway. Lookout Hollywood- the Ellwangers are coming.... 

We did find them later in the week, but it was pretty rainy so I didn't have the camera with us. It always works out like this, right? If you want to see baboons (or fish or rainbows or whatever tickles your fancy), don't bring your good camera!

Special shout out to the Kempers for giving us this awesome Flip cam! I tried to add you in the credits but the program would not oblige.

Afrikaans phrase of the week: Mooi bly. It means "keep well."

So until next time, mooi bly!

P.S. Sorry about the video quality- I had to compress the file in order to post it!
