And I wonder, if they extracted the baboons tusks?The Cat's Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611399110465666454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-17673021256961156742008-10-24T09:43:00.000-04:002008-10-24T09:43:00.000-04:00your pictures really capture something special and...your pictures really capture something special and intimate.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06028613641586312666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-39305451690821107082008-03-20T14:36:00.000-04:002008-03-20T14:36:00.000-04:00What is most shocking is the last picture where th...What is most shocking is the last picture where the monkey has a pet human - on a chain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-5923969604296290702007-12-20T03:30:00.000-05:002007-12-20T03:30:00.000-05:00James-I couldn't stop looking at that first image....James-<BR/><BR/>I couldn't stop looking at that first image.<BR/><BR/>I remembered this from the New Yorker - Eleven years ago:<BR/><BR/>Joanna Greenfield, Personal History, "HYENA," The New Yorker, November 11, 1996, p. 74<BR/>November 11, 1996 Issue<BR/><BR/>Abstract:<BR/><BR/>PERSONAL HISTORY about a hyena attack... Writer tells about being in Africa and seeing a hyena in the road in Kenya, taking a course on wildlife management... Spotted hyenas are the sharks of the savanna, superpredators and astounding recyclers of garbage. They hunt in large, giggling groups, running alongside their prey and eating chunks of its flesh until it slows down through loss of blood or shock, or sheer hopelessness and then the hyenas grab for the stomach and pull the animal to a halt with its own entrails or let it stumble into the loops and whorls of its own body. They eat the prey whole and cough back, like owls, the indigestible parts, such as hair and hooves. Writer had never wanted to work anywhere but Africa, but after writer graduated from college, a wildlife-reserve director from Israel said he needed someone to set up a breeding site for endangered animals and writer decided to go. When she got there, she was told the project had been postponed and was asked if she'd mind taking a job as a volunteer at another reserve, cleaning enclosures. Tells about a hyena that had been raised since a cub at the reserve. Writer tried to comfort the animal, and was attacked; the hyena sinking his teeth into her bone. Describes how an arm was mutilated, and how a leg was subsequently mutilated... She was driven to a clinic...Russell Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300607152857141171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-5831611977702451582007-12-19T16:37:00.000-05:002007-12-19T16:37:00.000-05:00If you can put aside the animal cruelty that must ...If you can put aside the animal cruelty that must go along with this sort of relationship, both the photographs and accompanying story are fascinating.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting,<BR/><BR/>Andy FrazerAndy Frazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079657191778378442noreply@blogger.com
