So I don’t know if i mentioned this in my last post, but we were kleptoparasitized by a Savannah Baboon in Amboseli!
He must have weighed 100 pounds or so and stole an orange people from a friend of mine.
I was told to stand my ground and look like it didn’t want to fight me… It didn’t because other people ran from it and left their food on the ground. But still, scary, I’ll try to get pictures up soon!
Hope everyone is safe and not being attacked by baboons!

Edit
So Apparently my last post didn’t go up so here’s a summary
I went to amboseli, we had a lecture on Island Biogeography which my excellent ecology professors last semester prepped me for.
It was so much fun! I saw my first hyena and a hyena that was fishing! and that’s about it
