The resilience of animals is truly astounding. Our Cape Leopard Trust camera traps have been picking up this female baboon with facial scarring, missing her tail and one hand. We can’t be sure how it happened – a failed attack by a leopard is certainly a possibility. But in spite of her handicap, she was recently photographed with a small baby and she seems quite at ease with the job! How amazing!
