Baboon baby in the forests of the Lake Manyara, Tanzania
Better be watched by an animal than a nosy man.

Mother alligator coaxing one of her babies to join the others in the pod. I was watching as another alligator approached; the Mum eventually attacked the intruder - so protective. Cullinan conservation area, west of Houston, Texas. 3/9/23. Enlarge so the infant can be better seen in front of the mother's snout.
I found this cute little sparrow chick with a funny hairdo in one of the Moscow parks ... he fell out of the nest.
What to do? How can I help this baby?
The fact is that in many birds (primarily small passerines), the chicks leave the nest as half-fledged fledglings. During this period of life, they still do not know how to fly, but they are already actively mastering the surrounding space. The parents did not abandon this chick, but simply flew away for food. Of course, as long as you stand next to the chick, they will not make themselves felt. Savvy birds can check after you leave that it was you considered there, they will find and kill the chick. Hence the conclusion: do not "save" everything that catches your eye. If the chick is dry, warm, active, well-feathered, then it does not need help.
And if the situation raises concerns? What to do first:
1. Quickly and carefully inspect the place where you found the chick, remember what it looks like. In some cases, this will help determine the type of bird.
2. Pick up the chick (with gloves) and bring it home as soon as possible.
3. On the way, inspect the chick for damage. If the bird has clearly visible fractures of the legs, wings, contusion (how to define it a little below), then you cannot do without a veterinarian. It is highly advisable to seek help from a veterinarian who specializes in the treatment of birds (unfortunately, such specialists are extremely rare). If there are no obvious signs of a fracture, and the general condition of the chick is satisfactory, just provide good conditions - nature will do its job and he will recover.
4. Provide the chick with food as soon as possible, it is even more important than equipping him with a house.
What did I do in this case? The kid is absolutely healthy and active, but I saw how a passerby man almost stepped on this chick and I brought a man from the administration of this park to this place, he promised to do everything necessary. I do not know anything about the fate of the bird, I have never visited this park again.
These babies were making quite a sensation at the lake when they appeared several weeks ago. Since then, they've fledged.

The fires (California ) are terrible, I hope they are all put out soon .
One more photo of the cutest baby Boreal Owl I met in the summer in my favourite wildlife park. Bad light but top model! :-D
Blanket flowers are long lived and vibrant flowers. This year these plants have been exploding with new growth. Once I started looking at the various photographs I've taken during their stages of development, I decided that this little blossom was still quite a baby flower. Perhaps that is why gardening shops are called nurseries.
Emily had attitude even at 2 1/2 months old. This defiant look was shot in early February just a few weeks after we got her.
A baby oriole is sitting in the feeding dish staring at the jelly dish not quite sure how to access it. He saw mom and dad doing it but it seemed so much easier for them.

Two baby bunnies arrived on my NC property during the spring of 2021. After some squabbling they became friends....matured, then realized they were of the opposite sex. The following spring they mated and this is a picture of their offspring several months later. During late summer the parents left, so the babies could learn to survive on their own.
Special photo - not one but two elephants with raised trunks. The upward-trunked elephant is considered a positive omen, and it is often associated with blessings and good luck to those who encounter it. Kruger National Park - as rain was approaching.
Babies act out when they're hungry, cold, tired. They do this for survival.

Waxwing birds are not true long-distance migrants, but wander erratically outside the breeding season and move south from their summer range in winter. In poor berry years huge numbers can erupt well beyond their normal range, often in flocks that on occasion number in the thousands.

My wife caught this one!

I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.

I am having babies fever and can't wait for the animal babies to start appearing. This is a baby Pika and while one probably would not see these until summer I can't wait for the spring babies either.
