A big male chacma baboon sits atop a rock as a sentinel for the rest of the troop.
The chacmas live in and around Rooi Els village and havec learned that tasty treats are available inside the houses and cars. To provide access to such riches they have learned to open door and windows, then they sneak in quietly and grab anything that looks edible.

One ran off with a bag of coffee beans. It did not come back for us to grind the beans for it.

A Cornell deer 🦌 Not really afraid of humans, just like the deer in Nara. My local Darby Creek deer never let me take their photos like this 🤔

📰 Surprise Endangered Leopard Recovery in West Africa

🐆 Benin: Leopard density in Pendjari National Park tripled between 2017 and 2023 — a rare rebound for one of the region’s most threatened big cats.

🛡️ Community‑based conservation was successful. Local rangers, anti‑poaching patrols, habitat restoration, water management, and efforts to rebuild prey species all contributed to the turnaround, even amid regional insecurity.

🌍 This recovery underscores how giving wildlife space, and supporting communities who steward that space, can produce measurable gains for endangered species.

Can dogs climb trees? Gray Foxes certainly can! With their hooked claws, they are the only native member of the dog family in the Americas that exhibits this cat-like behavior. The Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) is a common mammal found at Coe. They are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plants and small animals such as rodents, birds, lizards, and berries—just to name a few. And that tree-climbing ability is useful for thieving succulent bird eggs or a nice, juicy squirrel. Gray Foxes are cunning and opportunistic and will easily slip through a car window or inside your tent to steal your sandwich bread, so be sure to help keep Gray Foxes and all park wildlife wild by properly storing your food when camping.
