Enrique the Baboon turns 40
We have been celebrating the birthday of our oldest Hamadrayas Baboon! Enrique turned 40 on the 14th of August here at Flamingo Land. He received a lovely birthday cake that consisted of strawberry jelly, pellets, apples, bananas and orange. In the wild the oldest Hamadrayas Baboon on record lived up to 27 so with Enrique reaching his 40s is a great achievement! Our Baboon diet is mainly vegetables, pellets, nuts and seeds. Fruit is a rare reward as the fruits in this country have a lot of sugar in so we don’t want our Baboons to have rotten teeth, but how often do you reach such a milestone!?
