Awww! Baby baboons romp at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo
Moms hang onto them by their tails
Talk about cute: Two fuzzy young baboons can now be seen romping with their parents and other members of their baboon troop at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Prospect Park Zoo.
Both boys, the baby Hamadryas baboons were born just weeks apart, and have the same dad: Bole, a 21-year-old male. The youngsters have two different moms, however. Hamadryas baboons, unlike most other types of baboons, form harems, with one male having several mates.
Rebecca, a 10-year-old female, was the first to give birth on August 9, followed by Kaia, also 10 years old, who gave birth on September 26.
