8 rescued olive baboons!
Category: Lilongwe Wildlife Centre | Date: Jan 05 2009 | By: bornfree
We wanted to give you an update on the olive baboons that were recently rescued from Israel and brought to the Wildlife Centre – all eight of them!
The three females, Jill, Pamela, and Dickler and the five males, Nave, Jack, Nutty, Mayan, and Meir are all doing well. The majority of the baboons are adults, but that does not stop them from running around like youngsters, says their carer, Yesaya.
The baboons’ favorite meal is fruit salad. Each morning the animal carers chop up bananas and papayas for the baboons to feast on, and they love when it is time to eat.
All of the olive baboons are still in the night room, with a release into their newly built enclosure planned next week. Previously, not all of the baboons were together. Jack, Jill, Nutty, Mayan, Meir and Pamela were all together, while Nave and Dickler remained separate. Recently Nave and Dickler were introduced to the rest of the gang and all of the baboons are together and getting along well.
Stay tuned for an update to see how the baboons like their new enclosure!

Nice update. I’m glad to know they’re all healthy and getting along well together. I hope we can see photos of them in their new enclosure, when it’s ready.
Thanks,
s.
