Thank you LadyL. With all the heart wrenching cases lately, this has raised my spirits.

YW mine too. I'm wondering where they're going and it's fascinating to me that some have left the group. I wonder if it's adult males going to create their own herd?

I love them helping their babies have a wash

Thanks so much for posting this LadyL. It made my heart feel happy.

Something must have made them want to leave where they were. I wonder what is not enough food, or they felt they were in danger ?
