Baboon
This baboon likes to sit in the sun and hug her baby. She eats lots of fresh grass and fruit, and she brings special treats to her little baboon.
Would you eat a caterpillar for breakfast? A baboon would! Usually baboons eat plants and grass, but sometimes they eat insects, birds, and even rabbits.
Baboons are very sociable animals. They live in big troops and travel together for safety. With their great, sharp teeth, the males of the troop protect the females and babies from enemies. Baboons like to sleep in trees, where they are safe. Sleeping baboons don't fall out of trees very often, but they're special! What would happen if you fell asleep in a tree?
¿Comerìas una oruga para tu desayuno? ¡Lo harìa un babuìno! Usualmente, los babuìnos comen plantas y hierba, pero a veces comen insectos, pàjaros, y aùn conejitos.
Los babuìnos son animales muy sociables. Viven en tropas grandes, y viajan juntos para su seguridad. Con sus dientes grandes y agudos, los machos de la tropa protegen a las hembras y los bebés de sus enemigos.
A los babuìnos les gusta dormir en los àrboles, donde estàn seguros. Babuìnos dormidos casi nunca se caen de los àrboles - ¡pero son especiales! ¿Qué te pasarìa si te quedaras dormido en un àrbol?
