These Guinea baboons are on high alert. We don't know what triggered the alarm calls but better safe than sorry!

Jenny @Samburu posted "...the yellow hair is what gives the yellow-backed duiker its namesake. Much like a dog’s 'hackles' will rise when they feel in danger, these yellow hairs will stand straight up when they are scared or feel threatened."

This Rainbow Agama is showing off, but the Collared Dove doesn't seem all too much impressed. 😂 We're discussing whether this is a Red-eyed or a Vinaceous dove. You can weigh in here, if you have an idea about the exact species: www.zooniverse.org/projects/sas...

Being young and carefree just lets this bushbuck fawn have the zoomies!

A leopard mom and ??? Wait for it . . . Look what's following her!

This pangolin is definitely on a roll! 😉

This Guinea baboon got himself a yummy snack. We discussed whether it is a tuber or a large insect. What do you think? Discuss it here: www.zooniverse.org/projects/sas...

To the best of our recollection, we've never seen a baby hyrax before. Certainly not one this close up with its mother, and not one so absolutely adorable! Grooming mom and perhaps sniffing out a milk snack?

Lately we've seen elephant ladies with black socks. It seems, she's definitely not a fashionista! (Pssst: Her feet are just wet.)

Cuteness alarm! a Red-River Hog piglet pack ventures into the water. Another hog brings up the rear and makes sure that none of the young ones get lost.

At CrystalGully we see a lot of honey eating. Not only elephants have a sweet tooth, also chimps like to poke with a stick for the sweet treat. This male chimp was seen at this place for over half an hour, obviously without getting stung!

Volume up: You can hear this elephant sigh with pleasure at the treat! Imagine how hard it would be to clean all that sticky honey off of your trunk!

What looks like a hummingbird, flits like a hummingbird, but has eyes that glow in the dark and is often seen at night? Hawk Moth or Beetle? We settled on moth. If you think you'd recognize the exact species please tell us here: www.zooniverse.org/projects/sas...

This is a perfect old termite mound for all sort of scratches. This elephant bull certainly knows how to make the best of it!

Among duikers twins are rare. So why four teats? Like many hoofed mammals, the number of teats reflects evolutionary flexibility rather than typical litter size. Having four mammary glands provides physiological redundancy — if one teat is damaged or infected, others can still function.

🌍 Happy Earth Day! And happy birthday to Chimp&See, a conservation project marking 11 years on Zooniverse today. Every classification helps researchers protect our planet 🦖 @chimpandsee.bsky.social

Also known as "monkey bread," fruit from the baobab are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Those guinea baboons show us how they eat them.

April 22nd 2026 is our 11 year Chimp&See anniversary!  Check out our anniversary post here: www.zooniverse.org/projects/sas...

A rare sight at our present location, CrystalGully: a leopard mother with two cubs. Enjoy, and when you've done, visit us at chimpandsee.org and find exquisite sights yourself!

What a Wicked Web We Weave! We are pretty sure these are the webs of social funnel-web spiders (Agelena consociata). They build complex canopies of silk that they attach to trees in the forest. These spiders live in colonies of hundreds to thousands of individuals!

Sigh. Guinea Baboon babies. All cuteness and mischief. Will she do it? Wait for it . . .

Watch this beautiful elephant mother taking care of two calves! We are quite sure that one is hers; the second one surely belongs to another mother in the group. Allomothering is quite common for African elephants; however, nursing is only very rarely documented.

We don't usually see the small grey duikers reacting much to the cameras. This one though seems to be very interested in taking a nice selfie!

It's been a while that we could watch chimps fishing for algae. They do it with longer sticks when gathering the algae from the bottom of the water source. The other technique we've recently seen is scooping algae from the surface.

Check out the swimming style of this guinea baboon. First breaststroke, then underwater with a nice splash, circling back to the shore. We don't know yet if they do this out of pure fun or if they gather some algae when underwater.

Sun, fun, and nothing to do - at least the little one just enjoys to play in the water, while the other ones are feeding on algae.

This male chimp demonstrates how quickly they are able to make a tool, test it and fish out some algae. Impressive!

Here are some African Clawless Otters closeups for you!

Green Monkey mommy having a tough day. Educational methods among monkeys can be pretty harsh.

The guinea baboons at our site CascadingArches, especially the young ones, love to swim and play in the water. But sometimes getting out is not that easy. Mum to the rescue!
